JMB Vlog 215 | Making Rope, Spring 26

We make our own ropes on every long course because, as an old book I have states, “The world of primitive man was tied together with bits of string.” To make things, especially things made from wood, if you eliminate metal fasteners from the picture, lashing and tying things together is the field-expedient option. These ropes are made then used hard, as ridge lines, clothes lines, canoe lines, and many other tasks.

Typos, Etc.
Anything that appears to be an error in spelling or grammar is actually the author’s clever use of the vernacular, and as such is not an error, but rather a carefully placed literary device demonstrating prodigious artistic prowess.
