Thickness of twine for whipping rope
Wed, 4 Nov 2009 08:16:19 -0800 (PST)
What thickness of whipping twine should I be using for 5/8" manila
pioneering rope?
I have found: #2 (0.5mm), #3 (?mm), #4 (0.8mm), #8 (1mm), #16 (1.5mm).
Should the twine be waxed?
Possibilities so far:

Last weekend, my Troop ran a successful "training camp", except
for a serious event that has come to light after our return home.
It is alleged that one of the Scouts was threatened by another,
to the extent of "If you tell any of the leaders, I'll wrap this
mallet round your head". The threat was reported to ...

representatives.
The former due to the lack of interest by the parents, usually.
Should AGMs be more than just the set piece? Should they be a point where

Camping footwear

What do you wear on your feet at camp. ?
After a weekend in a green field site I have decided that I need new
footwear. I usually wear my hiking boots - but really they are 1) too
