The Field Guide to Knots

The ideal knot can significantly enhance any task, making it faster, simpler, and safer—whether it’s constructing a shelter, securing a horse, descending a cliff, or anchoring a boat.

With over 80 knots and more than 600 color photographs, this Field Guide is an indispensable resource for backpackers, climbers, sailors, anglers, hunters, equestrians, and anyone who has ever required assistance in changing a sail, repositioning a climbing rope, or splicing a tent pole!

This manual includes two small pieces of rope for practicing the skills in this book.
