Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
先日うちの会社で皆なにかを黙々とやっていました。
As for what they were doing, our senior staff member was teaching a younger employee how to braid a rope.
Rope work is one of those skills that’s surprisingly useful to know.
In particular, when you cut a rope, whether you secure it by wrapping it with vinyl tape or braiding it makes a huge difference in strength.
The basis of rope work is friction.
The friction between the fibers maintains a tight fit.
But honestly, the logic behind it doesn't really matter—after all, being able to braid the ends of a rope is just so cool!
A guy who knows how to use a rope is really cool!
For slope workers, it goes without saying that they must be able to tie a “moiai knot” and a “maki knot.”
Besides that, you use it when securing things with a “vice knot,” right?
If you can pull this off, it just looks so cool!! lol
These skills, in particular, are very useful in your personal life, so I recommend checking out YouTube and other resources to learn more.
There are bound to be a few occasions in life when you'll need to use a rope. (Unless you're in a specialized line of work, lol.)
That's when knowing how to work with ropes comes in very handy.
Rope work is something you can easily learn with just a little practice, so I highly recommend it.
Above all, it's just so cool! lol
See you later.
