Product Description
Meet the 'Fab Five' including the figure of eight, bowline, sheet bend, and two half hitches. Discover why the common square knot is good in a bind but bad as a bend. Be prepared to tie a bowline loop fit for a rescue, use lashings to construct a flagpole or backyard tent, build a shelter using the taut-line hitch -- and tie a perfect surgeon's knot every time you try! Includes the knots, lashings and loops required for scouts, sailors, campers and other cool people. From 8 years and upwards.

Great little homeowner's book May 23, 2004

I love this little book of knots. I am not a knot expert but this book has many different types of knots for all the various occasions that I need them for. A few of my favorites are the bowline (creates non-slipping loop), Sheet-bend (ties two ropes together even if they are different sizes), and Half-hitch (hitches a rope to a pole). It's got quite a few different types of knots listed in easy to follow illustrations and directions. Cool!
