Sid Richardson Ranch -Days 2 and 3.  Despite what it looks like above, Ben not really trying to drown that kid. It's the first class scout rescue drill (part of the Swimming merit badge)... or so he tells me. The rope is to pull you both back. Below is what a 11 year old looks like doing mile swim at 5:30 am. I hear the water was really really cold.

Later that day, Justin offered to teach Ben lashing. From the look, I think he was expecting something else.
