Recommended supplies to bring include small needle-nosed pliers, sharp scissors, a butane lighter, and additional string or rope if desired. Recommended books are Des Pawson’s Knot Craft, Stuart Grainger’s Creative Ropecraft, and The Marlinspike Sailor by Hervey Garrett Smith. Canceled on rainy days. Join the group on the grass near the Camera Obscura (see map)
