Knots, 2nd Ed (Outdoor Recreation and Survival)

Just what I needed. I'm the worst at tying knots.

Lots of basic and advanced knots and lists what they are used for. Waterproof. Gave as a gift and would buy again.

A great guide for quick reference. Keep it in my backpack

good primer for those just learning to tie various knots

good little pocket guide with good info, i really like how its laminated, can take it on the trail with you. took off a star cause it has some useless knots, got it for bushcrafting not to dress for the prom

An excellent selection of knots to accomplish the tasks facing the camper or outdoorsman. Helpfully organized by function, rather than by formal taxonomy. This is a pocket guide, so descriptions are very brief and just enough diagrams are given. However, the function of each knot (i.e., it's superpower) is conveyed and the diagrams are quite clear.I might have included more lashing types and left out other things, but this is a perfectly reliable teaching guide and memory resource. This laminated pamphlet does not aspire to be a knot and ropework bible. It is a pocket guide, and a fine one.

Superficial and hard to understand some of the diagrams. Silly or unlikely sections like "Handcuff a Burglar," "Escape from Captivity," "Snare a Rabbit," "Tie your Shoes," etc.
