Knowing which knot to use when and how to tie it can mean the difference
between safety and danger or a dry or wet night camping. A well-tied
knot is not only a safeguard, but also a thing of beauty. 40 Knots and
How to Tie Them presents the essential knots, from classic sturdy,
strong knots--including Bowline, Sheepshank, Pile Hitch, and Trucker's
Dolly, to the decorative. Instructions on tying each knot are shown in
crystal-clear, hand-drawn diagrams, and its uses plainly explained. A
perfect gift for the novice or the seasoned expert, each chapter
contains a project to practice knots--including a bracelet, coaster,
