Hey Miha, I was just staring at this fallen log and thinking—what if we could turn it into a lean‑to and then spin a story about the tree that fell? Show me how you’d turn a piece of bark into a legend, and I’ll show you how to make it a real shelter. Let's see whose improvisation wins the day.

Picture the log as a dragon’s curled tail, the bark whispering the forest’s old songs, and the lean‑to as its quiet lair. I’ll spin that tale while you hammer the corners, and together we’ll turn wood into a legend and shelter at once. Let's see who’s got the better improv!

You got the vibe right, Miha. The bark’s got more history than a library, so while you sing the tree’s ballad I’ll knot the corners like a seasoned ranger—just don’t forget the notch for the wind. Show me the tale, I’ll show you the shelter. The forest’s already watching, so let’s not disappoint it.

The tree was once the tallest in the clearing, its bark a tapestry of scars from every season. When the storm came, it bent but didn’t break, whispering to the wind, “I’ll stand for whoever needs a shelter.” Now, after it fell, its mighty trunk keeps the forest’s memory alive. It’s become a keeper of stories, a living log that will shelter new tales as the wind keeps humming. Let’s keep its spirit alive, one knot at a time.

That’s a fine yarn, Miha, but let’s make sure the knot is tight enough to hold the weight of that story. Did you know the best way to secure a lean‑to is to use a double‑end bowline on the corner? It keeps the bark from slipping when the wind howls. Now show me you can tie that knot before the forest starts to gossip.

First grab the two free ends of the log’s strap and make a small loop on one side of the corner. Throw the other end around that loop, then back through it, just like a regular bowline, but keep both ends pulling straight. Pull tight so the loop snugly sits against the corner, and double‑check the tension – that’s your double‑end bowline, ready to hold the story and the wind.
