Rope at Burning Man: Is Burning Man a Pro Rope Culture?

[eLPea]

Do we emphasize the nylon twists and braids to the point of objectification?

Do we over-promote the benefits of knots and hitches and thus abuse their use?


Are we ignoring the benefits of the consenting union of two sides of the simple ratchet strap?

[ygmir]

nothing like a good truckers hitch!!!
"who needs ratchet straps"?

[Roberto Dobbisano]

evidently this is just one of many camps that will teach you rope tricks


Suspended Animation Camp

Experience full-suspension erotic rope bondage: part kinetic art, part thrill ride, part endorphin rush. Our crew of expert riggers offers bondage rides, workshops for all levels, breathtaking performances, and night time play parties. We also rove the playa and build impromptu bondage sculpture!

Knots are great! I use more twine than rope though.

Having been the victim of rope I find this so offensive that I must ask you to get knotted.

Cable ties and snoopy loops or nothing (and maybe a torch I made in my shed but that's a tale for another forum)
