Scenario’s and Rolling Catalina’s

Just wanted to make sure everyone understands how to roll a catalina! No, we are not talking about bread and salad dressing. If you need a review on what a catalina is you may want to start by clicking here.


The final OOP is not as low as I could go. I could certainly do better! The point here is to show you well rounded scenario’s with a variety of items you WILL USE!
