Summary

Knots have been around since our Neolithic ancestors first tied reef knots and clove hitches thousands of years ago. This book is a practical guide to tying 75 knots, from the simple overhand or thumb knot and the single hitch to the more challenging double constrictor knot and alternate ring hitching. Each knot is identified by category - general purpose, angling and fishing, boating and sailing, caving and climbing, and outdoor pursuits.
