PTS - Knots

 For the practical training strip, a Rover Knight must demonstrate and know the uses of the following knots: bowline on a bight, fisherman's hitch/bend, man harness knot, rolling hitch, marlinspike/lever hitch, and timber hitch. I created a video demonstrating each of these knots, and hopefully they're easy to understand. The computer I created this on didn't have the best camera, but ironically it's the fastest computer in our household and thus easier to create such a video on. I hope you enjoy!

Practical Training Strip - Knots

AMRC Creations

 As I've been putting my Rover Crew together, I've been getting a lot of logistical stuff put into place, including means of paying for insignia and placing resources for my Rovers to access. I'm hoping it all works out the way it should so we can focus on Rovering together!

However, I've also had fun creating Rover insignia and uniform articles, including the neckerchief. At first I was going to order them, but I figured I had the skill to sew them instead and save a few dollars. It's been a learning curve (so far each necker is unique in small ways, ahem), but they look so good.

I've also designed the Crew crest and flash that we'll wear on our uniforms. It's going to look so good; one thing I've learned as an author is how good it feels to see my creation become tangible. I look forward to getting the delivery for these crests.
