There are a few styles we will discuss: an arms in 'hug harness\,' an arms free two band chest harness\, and a box-tie (or TK). At BRE\, we will discuss the ele ments important to creating an upper body harness such as risk profile\, what is comfortable (or uncomfortable)\, and the purpose of the harness to help to decide which type of harness to chose. We will also cover a pattern for an arms free suspendable harness and arms in harness. But mo re important than the pattern\, we will discuss why/how and placement ch oices.\n\nIf you missed the earlier classes on single columns\, friction s\, and connecting rope\, come right at 3pm so we can go over those skil ls again. If you'd like to help TA (and help a newer group learn some of the skills)\, please reach out!\n\nFor those who want to drill or learn their single columns\, here are two of my favorite tutorials: \;htt ps://vimeo.com/143109618 \;(Shay w/ a larks head SC) and\nhttps://cr ash-restraint.com/ties/66 \;(Topologist's Somerville Bowline).\n\n\n \nAnytime during a Boundless event\, please feel free to opt out of the facilitated activities and tie in the designated areas (generally the ba ck half of the club).\n\nBring your rope\, safety cutter\, snacks\, and your water bottle. Dress code is something you can tie and/or be tied in . If you are staying for the event following BRE\, please bring somethin g you can change into. Generally\, Sanctuary has a 'dress to impress/mak e an effort' dresscode for most evening events.\n\nWhat is the Boundless Rope Experience?\nWe aim for:\n\n A learning and labbing environment t o teach one another and explore rope in community\n An invitation to ma ke new friends who are interested in rope\n A body neutral and welcomin g event for all\n A sober\, fun\, and potentially sexy (but not sexual) space\n Embracing all types/genres of rope without judgment so long as practices are consent-forward and mitigate risk of injury\n\nEvery mont h\, MxBliss will facilitate a class with the aim of sparking conversatio n/debate\, sharing information\, and encouraging exploration. While fram ed as a series\, you are free to drop in at any time in the series. Exce pt for the Suspension Class\, no pre-requisites for labbing. Also\, a ty ing partner is not required for any of the classes as most technical ski lls we are covering can be self-tied.\n\nBoundless Rules:\n\n All partn ered rope must be prenegotiated prior to any play/labbing/scene\n Uplin es must be reinforced (reinforced jute or hemp) or synthetic (Posh\, nyl on\, MFP\, or other rope rated for marine\, climbing\, or rescue)\n Nor mal Sanctuary rules about prohibited play: i.e. No neck rope\, breath-\, race-\, rape-\, or blood-/scat-/wet- play\n No mind altering substance s during Boundless.
