Bondage Bootcamp

Join two of Bozeman’s experienced local riggers as they guide you through the theory and practice of bondage. This intensive style class will begin with a lighter introduction to playing with ropes suitable for beginners or those who need a refresher followed by a more advanced level of tying. Top and bottom perspectives will be given throughout to ensure a well-rounded education and experience.

We ask that you bring your own rope if you have it (at least 3 hanks of 30ft) if you need it OH Hi will have a beginner set available for purchase.

Meet your hosts:

Ernie and Frankie began their rope bondage journey in 2014 when Frankie told Ernie "google shibari. I want this." They started with gleaning information from the internet and learning patterns from books, and shortly afterwards they discovered an in-person community of rope enthusiasts who mentored and encoraged their journey. They have been fortunate to be able to attend conferences and weekend intensives to learn and refine their practice, mainly with Ernie being the one who ties and Frankie being bound in rope. They are life partners and founding members of Montana Rope Wranglers, and have been integral to facilitating local rope events since 2015.

Ropemantic (they/them) is a bondage rigger who has been active in the Gallatin Valley BDSM community for over two years. They describe themselves as a real “sadistic” bastard: "I like to tie people up and cuddle them." Ropemantic loves sharing the joy and beauty of rope bondage, and is always happy to share their knowledge and experiences to help other kinksters grow in their own lifestyle journey.

Code of Conduct for Montana Rope Wranglers Events

Montana Rope Wrangle events are for rope bondage enthusiasts age 18 and older to share ideas, educate, learn and connect. They may be structured as educational workshops, presentations, public exhibitions or labs. Rope bondage and rope suspension is edge play and carries inherent risks of bodily injury. Participants must be aware of potential dangers and determine for themselves what level of risk they wish to accept, and take responsibility for their own decisions and actions.

1. Use of equipment and participation in activities is at your own risk. Request a spotter when practicing above your comfortable skill level.
2. There may be one or more Monitors identified during events who are responsible for reviewing safety practices and making sure the rules are followed. Their word is final and failure to adhere to the decision of a Monitor will be cause for your immediate dismissal.
3. For the safety of all participants, specific restrictions on types of activities may be imposed by the organizer. NO alcohol or mind-altering substances are allowed at an event or immediately beforehand. If you are impaired, you will be asked to leave. 
4. 911 will be called in case of an emergency requiring professional response.
5. All activities must be consensual. Practice intentional negotiations of your activities, be fearless in communicating your boundaries, be clear with your expectations and give feedback regularly. By participating, you are assuming full responsibility for your personal interactions. 
6. Respect other persons right to privacy and confidentiality. You must have permission of the other parties involved before sharing on any social media or in conversation. 
7. Keep cell phones put away. Photos and video may be taken only by explicit permission of the people in the picture and must be reviewed by those in the photo, who also have the right to approve or deny further use, including sharing on social media.
8. Recognize the dignity of all persons and demonstrate respect through civility. Respect the personal space of others, and likewise, do not assume others know how you wish to be treated or addressed. Think about how your actions influence others.
9. You are encouraged to support fellow participants. You have talents, energy, and ideas. Don’t let your gifts and initiatives go to waste.
