INTRODUCTION

Anyone can tie lots of knots, but a proper knot will be stronger and easier to untie. It will also help to conserve rope as you will use less (lots of knots uses more than needed) and having to cut the knots out is less likely since they are easier to untie.

There are many knots, far too many for the average person to remember. Fortunately, there is no need to remember them all. Just being able to tie a handful of knots is enough to see you through any situation when a knot is needed.

The Useful Knots Book is a no-nonsense how-to book on tying the 25+ most useful knots. It comes with easy to follow illustrated instructions and tips on when to best use each knot.

KNOT TYING TERMS

Any bend in-between the ends of the rope which does not cross over itself.

ER 01 CommonTerms1

Crossing Point

The point where the rope crosses over itself.

ER 02 CommonTerms2

Load

Refers to the weight of the object being secured, e.g., if you are pulling a log then the log is the load.

Loop

Similar to a bight but the ends cross over, hence creating a closed circle.

An overhand loop is when the running end lies over
