Whether you are a professional removalists or just a crazy cowboy, there are a number of uses for a lasso. You don’t need a professional piece of rope, anyone will do, but you might need a little practise at getting that loop to hold itself perfectly in the air as you take your aim. Here is an entertaining and funny look at the alternative and not always practical use of a lasso.

• Kid Roping. Have a child who constantly wanders off when you are at the beach and having fun in the park? Take to your lasso with purpose, and have them back in a flash. For those looking for entertainment and have a number of children, playing, ‘catch the kid’ with them can be extremely fun and most children will find it a joy. If you have a particularly boisterous child, use your lasso like a child harness. Take care with any games with children and be safe. Not to be mistaken with a hanging noose!
• Tie-down. It is a fact that interstate removalists ties to hold down standing white goods and if you don’t have the professional items you can use a rope and make a lasso to keep it tight and tightly fixed to the floor pan of your truck. Very effective and a necessity if you are transporting heavy items on the roads. The last thing you need is to see your refrigerator taking a dive and swimming down the street.
• Leash. If you have a mad dog, or a very powerful one that insists on chasing people around the park for fun, have a lasso on handy to reel them back in, or use on your dog if he is one of those big alpha males that is hard to control. Don’t lose your grip and make sure you take care not too let the noose get too tight.
• Fetish tool. Do you or your partner like to pretend to be an animal? You will be surprised what some people get up to in the bedroom. A lasso and other ropes can add to your crazy games in the bedroom. Use Vaseline to protect against unwanted chaffing.
• Swing. Have kids playing around the house with little to distract them or otherwise keep them occupied. Make sure your chosen branch well and make a swing for your children. Use an old rubber tyre for one of those classic swings for fun.

Lassos are practical for a number of situations and so always keep some rope handy around the house for days when the children are bored or you need to get something done. Learn the techniques of making a good knot and definitely don’t confuse a lasso with a hanging rope. Always monitor children when they are playing and have a good time. Game ideas are only limited by how much you can apply your imagination. Have fun.
