This handbook includes 70 of the most useful knots for fishing, camping or climbing. The guide includes step-by-step instructions and photographs of each stage of knot tying from the viewpoint of the person tying the knot. When two or more ropes are involved, the ropes are colour-coded so that the reader can tell the difference between the two. The guide includes 70 of the most commonly used knots - from the bowline and sheet bend, to the clove hitch and figure-eight knot - as well as a section on decorative knots and a cross-referenced list of applications.
