As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I notice every prepper who is selling you bullshit that they are real ignorant sons of bitches. Just buy their beans or freeze dried and have a gun and you are on your way to the easy time of it.
This Lame Cherry lesson in million dollar knowledge is about something never mentioned, but you are going to need this like breathing.
It is called ROPE.
What I will give you is the simpler course in this. Do not buy lariat rope as in sisal or hemp. You are too uneducated to deal with that, along with yacht yarn. What you need to buy are the nylon type ropes, as you can burn the ends, not burning you, and it will seal them, so they do not unravel.
A rope is braided, and they unravel and become a mess, unless you know how to splice ropes, as in end splices, loop splices and joining splices. I have tried this, it is not something you master for a very long time, so just get yourself rope you can seal with a flame.
I will though provide you with the popular girl of the poor orphan in the Lame Cherry Stupid Girl's Splice.
What you see below is the typical shit you come across. Some tape on the end of a rope that is starting to unravel.
The following is the finished product and what you need. Think of this as a CHEMICAL SPLICE.
Below you will see 30 feet of cotton rope. All I could get. ALWAYS get 30 feet of rope. That sounds like allot until you discover in the real world how short a 15 foot piece of rope is and who worthless it is. 30 feet will get you at least working on what you need done.
What you need a is a pair of latex gloves to keep the Shoe Goo or similar epoxy type product off your hands.
You need a HONDA, not a car, but a honda is the term for what the rope slides through. You want a quick release honda, or your cow or horse will choke off in getting tangled in some shit or your deer will get wound up dead in you pulling it in the brush. You do not want to cut off the rope as rope is your life, also it ruins your splice. So just get a honda.
Now you get the rope through the ends of the honda, and then (I use feed sack thread that sews the sacks together) I wrap this around the end of the rope to keep it from unraveling. As this would wear out toot sweet, this is where you put that Shoe Goo on the splice and on the end of the rope.
I have used this stuff for years. There is another product called E 6000, but that is hard to come by now, but that is what I put on my plastic pick up grill in repairing that, over 10 years ago, and it is still holding.
I put this goo on a broken plastic snow shovel. Worked like a cast on a broken arm. Gee I have quite allot of this goo around as I'm prepared as I know things break and I need to fix things.
Ok with all sealed up, you tie a BOW LINE KNOT for the honda and you have your cowgal lariat to pull calves, deer, cows and horses home.
One more thing as you are probably not educated on knots either, old Joe taught me as a kid how to die a quick bow line, and you just need a slip knot, then put the end line through the hole, and pull the slip not shut and as you keep pulling, it will make quick bow line, That is the above. knot.
You should hang your rope for a bit with some weight on it, to make it remember it is a knot, or it might slip loose. I guess if you are a rich non donor, you can put goo on the knot and that will cement it all up so it does not budge, but I'm not rich from non donations.
When I was in school, our teacher was getting a new text book for the class and was asking us what we should include in the thing, and he in passing said, "We don't need a rope section", and with that the class spontaneously erupted in protest. Every kid there had shitty farm ropes, had those fucking ropes break, unravel and cause the worst problems, usually with 1200 pounds of nutty cow birth calf cow on the other end trying to kill you. Ropes are the staff of life.
If you watch the old west shoes, they all had ropes. .They got more use than a Winchester or Colt as they made the man and the horse a tool of extended work.
I'm going to be picking up some more synthetic rope as I just purchased a bunch of hondas too, as I want ropes ready to use and ready to replace as a broken rope is one of the many things that feels like the end of the world when it happens.
Maybe in the meltdown you can have the time in the dark to learn how to splice rope. I doubt you will learn, but all the same, this is a fill in out of necessity as I teach you the million dollar stuff.
