What I would be interested in, even if I'd have nothing to say about a bunch of it.

I've been fascinated with cordage and knots since I was a kid. The two things I usually always had with me anywhere I went from age 5 or 6 to teenage years was a knife and a piece rope or some string.

I vote cordage and knots, I know nothing about that, I mean, I can tie my shoes, that's it.

I'm good with Cordage and knots, OR Urban survival. Either one would be fine with me.

I suck at knots and my water purification game is far from palatable, So either of those would be interesting for my part.

Alright so knots? Got a lot of votes for cordage and knotwork so far, so everyone cool with that? Urban Survival will be covered later when it gets a bit warmer, we have a guest lined up for that (Ethan's buddy Chance Sanders). Cordage and knotwork I imagine we could handle in house. I'll post up what I can tomorrow.

None of that auto-asphyxiation stuff, okay? Just honest to goodness, traditional family values knots, please.

I need to learn more knots, but i have to admit that I'm really looking forward to the urban survival. I've gone back and visited the old challenge a few times since I moved to the city and especially since I work on the opposite side of town as I live.
Back when I lived and worked in the country & small town, I could hike a bee line back home in no time.... Things would be a bit more complicated now.

Thread incoming on knotwork and cordage.
Tough titty Jerry, be quicker on the ball.

Like I said, we are going to visit this one (urban survival) in the next couple of months using someone that can teach this in more depth.
