Basic Essentials of Knots

Whether it's windproof your tent, tying off your watercraft, or cinching down cargo while traveling, Basic Essentials of Knots will teach you everything you need to know for safe and effective knots. In this handy book, you'll learn to splice ropes together, use a power cinch during a river rescue, or protect your camera using lashing methods to secure it.

Included is the understanding of different applications for various types of rope, preparing a new rope for outdoor use, protecting the life time and dependability of the ropes, and rope nomenclature. As an added bonus for those lefties out there, a left-hand mirror image of right-handed knot and hitch is available.
