#1 Slipped by:
The Hitch Knot

https://youtu.be/1jkN3K5G8eE

There is some bs commercials, the first 'Q' I used quite a bit to haul tools up and down from the roof. 2x the length of the tool, and then 2x the height of the pullup/letdown. Don't tie a hammer or other weight and throw unless the receiver is ready, only when absolutely necessary.

#4 Good knots Skidmark. Single hitch is a great way to lift/descend items especially with work gloves on.

I wish I had more time to expand on what I said to my rather novice approach to firearms (grew up in anti-gun city). It wasn't until my wife was with first child that there were a series of bold daylight robberies occurring in town, then I went from sport to self defense, and sport usually being very naughty target practice. I had to cut short to attend to a pop up storm with lightning so thick at one point for about five minutes we were lit up like being at the ball park with the lights on. With no forecast mentioning a chance for storms, being second tornado season we out here can expect at least wind and large hail; it in a way touches on being aware of your surroundings.

Also, with the approaching change in seasons I thought about mentioning emergency car kits.

Perhaps another time, and badanov thank you for the opportunity to fill in.
