Shorts Skapa
I'm putting together a series of one minute short films, whilst I work on a bigger project on my local foxes. This first one minute short is about my local moor and a lovely young Roe Deer. Goss Moor is the largest remaining area of mid-Cornwall moorland and is a National Nature Reserve with a multi-use trail. The mostly flat valley basin is the source of the River Fal. A designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation, the reserve is home to many rare species including Cornish Moneywort, yellow Centaury, Cornish Pillwort, marsh Clubmoss, small red damselfly, variable damselfly and the marsh Fritillary butterfly.
How to tie a super charged reef knot: the Simple Simon #knots #sailing. Form a bight (loop) and then the easiest way of remembering it is to just use the opposite to the Bowline trick. You know the drill with the rabbit, but backwards ... Down the hole with the working end, round and then back up again. 🔹 This knot is more secure than a reef knot and does not become loose and unravel if it gets jerked around. It also works well with different sized ropes and slippy synthetic, something the Reef can't really claim to do. 🔹 A good one for your Knot Arsenal is the Simon.
