Tent Pitching and Gadget Making Notes

Dear Campcraft Team , 
I have post some notes here for your tent pitching and gadget making.

1. Tent Guy Loop. 
Here is a picture of the tent guy loop. Points to note, when you pull the working end ( the end of the rope which is not tie to anything ) u must loop it back to the peg parallel. See my dotted line illustration below.


2. 2-Half Clove Hitch. 
Tie this to end the tent guy loop. The correct position to tie this is above the slipknot.


3. Clove Hitch
This is use to tie the vertical pole. Try to use the left method. It will be faster.


4. Gym Lashing.
This is one of the lashing which is missing from your notes. You may need to use this for your gadget.


Good job on your 1st training on Monday. I know it is kinda of tough, but most rewarding things in life is tough. Hope your can endure and excel. You will see the fruits of your hard work on your competition day.
