#Camping October 4

On Friday I began a new challenge of attempting to master tying 15- 20 different knots. That means in October to complete the 30 Day #Coach4aday Knot Challenge I am going to be working daily with rope. I have friends that like to go CAMPING and I wanted to explore what knots are required.

Full disclosure I have not been CAMPING since I was a young boy. What I remember is you will need knots to assist to secure tarps and shelters, fasten guy lines on tents, tie down gear on the car and fix up lines for drying washing or hanging lanterns.

CAMPING Knots

Here are 5 knots and what they can be used for when spending time outdoors

Square Knot

Uses for CAMPING

Sheet Bend

Round Turn and Two Half Hitches

Bowline

Double Figure Eight

Technology and innovation have created a lot of CAMPING gadgets and gizmos. Many of them can replace what a knot would have done just as well. CAMPING today is not thick canvas tents and wooden tent pegs, but mastering knots can still make the experience better.

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
