It never ceases to amaze me that I've probably received as many PMs about this thread than there are posts to it.

Yes, I recently called myself a moron but that was because I had nothing better to do than shoot another video of myself hanging the pack. FWIW - what's up on youtube was the third take. Viewing the first, I noticed my butt was always facing camera - not good. I missed the second toss on the second take so what's shown was my third attempt I think - something like that. It's really not that hard. Anyway.

Today, I received two compliments I never expected. I haven't coiled rope since I asked my bowpaddler to show me what she was doing because her painter never tangled and it always annoyed me that mine did. In return I taught her how to tie a slip knot. I never imagined someone would learn anything about rope stuff but hey, if you see something you like and it works for you - enjoy. Any and everything is transferrable if it works for you but please no more PMs on this one. Post 'em here or elsewhere yourself or shut up and paddle. Fair enough?
