One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hand fed a wild elephant in Uganda, stuck my feet in the mouth of the Nile, flew over the Lineas de Nasca (thanks Danny), and got shocked by an electric eel in Guyana.

Teach, Learn, Share

The Bowline (excellent for hammocks)

1. Lay the rope across your left hand with the free end hanging down. Form a small loop in the line in your hand.

2. Bring the free end up to and pass through the eye from the under side (the rabbit comes out of the hole).

3. Wrap the line around the standing line and back down through the loop (around the tree and back down the hole).

4. Tighten the knot by pulling on free end while holding standing line
