How to Make Survival Ropes

Adult, Community Programs, Events, Nature Center

Saturday, July 20, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Join Ranger Eric for the 7th of 10 adventures on survival. The seventh workshop in the survival series is about Cordage.

Dive into the art of crafting cords, strings, and ropes, and discover how these essential elements can be the key to constructing shelters, ladders, beds, or even crafting a bow for friction fire. This hands-on workshop is all about learning the intricacies of cordage, preparing you to twist, braid, and weave your way through any challenge. Expect to put your fingers to work and maybe get a bit messy, so dress comfortably. Bring along your work gloves and get ready to master the ropes of survival.

Be prepared for the elements with proper layers, footwear, gloves, and a hand towel.

Minimum age- 15 years old (Children under the age of 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult.)

This program is supported in part by a grant from the NY State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York  State Legislature.

Anyone can volunteer. Even you!
