THIS SIMPLE TRICK HELPED US SUCCEED!
SUCCESS!
Always willing to brainstorm and have a good think, we recently attempted to solve a problem that we were having. We wanted to wrap the cow horns on our front gate with some rope, but weren't sure how to tuck the end of the rope back underneath the coils. After a short brainstorm, we decided to use a short length of bamboo that would allow the rope to slide through. Sure enough, it did the trick.
Does anyone have a better idea, or another way to get the job done? If so, please let us know in the comment section below.

I was thinking hot glue the rope to itself. Or looping the rope like I tie my boot laces... hummm can I explain this to make sense... place a loop along the back of the horn before wrapping. Then wrap with the loop inside the coil. When finished wrapping there should be a small part of the loop still sticking out that you can thread the end through. It kind of becomes a self-containing knot because you then pull the starting end of the rope and it tightens and secures everything. I'm pretty sure I got it from girl scouts but I don't remember the name of the knot.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing. Also, three more packages today!

Family think tank and creativity for the win! It's a BIG part of the off-grid life to be able to solve problems not many other people have faced and, let's face it, it is ADAPTATION that matters more than strength or size in natural selection.

I was going to reply with, "Look, I know you're my day, but I've never even heard you say anything like that before and have no idea what you're talking about," and then I saw the link. I can see how that would work. Thanks Dad!
We had a beautiful longhorn steer shipped to us from Texas a few years ago, a compromise for our Ivory wedding anniversary. I was amazed it got here intact.
