>>1932224Yes, sounds utterly pointless to me, seen as I could just buy and book, watch one of hundreds of great informational videos on YouTube and learn for free from that. Watch enough and educate yourself so you can fish out the good info from the bad.
That's how I and many others have gone about learning.
Read and educate yourself. Practice until you can efficiently tie all knots, set up appropriate anchors and systems you're likely to encounter in the wild. Then get out there and go for it.
You'll still be a gumby, but at least you'll be an educated gumby.
