I used to climb rock faces, and obviously had know a few knots. I had a theory that working as a design engineer and drawing things in 3D gave me the ability to visualize to see things in 3D space so to speak, which made knots easy for me. I loved the cat story and its moral of an act of kindness paying off with work you might not have otherwise had. August reminds me of emergency room doctors. The ones who initially stand back and calmly analyze the situation and organize the their team of junior doctors and nurses. They have a calm intelligence that shows in their eyes, which has a positive effect on the team. August has that look, and I suspect he would have done well at whatever he chose to do in life.

YOu just showed how you are a success in business as you care about the people and treat everyone well as it isn't always about money as Good Will and even if you didn't get the jobs out of it then it made what you do worthwhile and a service to the people. I once tracked a job and thru the phone call after I got 26 jobs from that one call. So Never trust the companies that spend so much on advertising as they are the "One Shot Wonders" as the people will wonder why they ever called them as it all goes south and no matter the price they will be upset. So I appreciate the skill you show for a hobbyist like me as I give you mad respect. I'll stick to cleaning out peoples drains and plumbing work; as it's great leaving and feeling you helped solve the problem..

Great tutorial! I prefer the orientation of the blue and white rope on the pole. Where the curve of the pole bends the bowline tighter instead of the example on the yellow line in the tree where the curve is breaking open the knot. I have never seen it matter, just an ocd rope user I am. Thanks for a great video and conversation. Be Well MB Crew.
