Know The Ropes
A ropes course is a challenging outdoor personal development and team building activity which usually consists of high and/or low elements. Low elements take place on the ground or only a few feet above the ground. High elements are usually constructed in trees or made of utility poles and require a belay for safety. In order to stay safe and maneuver through a ropes course successfully, most of us would want a knowledgeable instructor to teach us technique and coach us along as we gained the necessary skills.

As tempting as it may be, only the fool hearty would rush out onto the ropes, risk personal injury and life itself. (And some might.)

Less dangerous, but equally important, is knowing what to do if and when your car breaks down on a road trip, especially if you are traveling in remote locations, at a distance from AAA and other forms of road service. Do you know what to do when a tire gives out? The simplest task becomes frustrating and difficult if you don’t have the proper tools and a knowing of how to remedy the situation. There is no need to give up road travel. Just get a handle on being prepared by learning the basics.

Everything has its own little secrets for success: ropes courses, preparedness on the open road, and even playing scrabble. Because it’s just a board game, people don’t hesitate to jump in and play without a second thought about the potential dangers to ego and self-esteem. Those who take the time to ‘know the ropes’ of scrabble, before blindly following the newbies, will have a more positive scrabble experience, I promise.
