The Big Boys got the Scouts into the Pioneering Spirit with the Monkey Bridge. First they had to make a Rope Machine for the 100's of feet of rope made from sisal baling twine.
Thanks We put our heads together for this one. I was challenged to make a rope machine, My younger Brother designed the bridge to be safe if a rope broke and reusable.
You should look up my rope machine video on how I made the rope. Easy from front wheel drive lawn mower parts. Check it out. It will cut the cost of making the bridge to 1/4. Scouts can make there own rope for tons of projects.
We did make all the rope with the rope machine I also made. 2 lawnmowers and a bunk bed with into its construction. You can see that and the 2 scouts helping.
Love this video! It's great you made your own rope for the project! You made a long bridge too. Super!
We are working on the Pioneering MB and this was helpful today. Thanks!!!
I'm at camp staffing for NYLT... I thought I would use this down time to watch some of these videos that I otherwise never get to see. Cool memories.
We made the rope too. That was fun learning how to do that.
these are so much fun!
