Tying Knots

The ability to tie an appropriate and safe knot for a given situation is of paramount importance when camping, hiking, trail riding etc.  

This is a list of knots that are commonly used by outdoors people from many different fields.

Safety:

Ropes and the knots associated with rope, can be dangerous. If improperly handled, or tied, ropes can kill and you could be the victim! Always use rope with care and  inspect and test any knots you tie. Respect ropes subject to a heavy load, especially your own climbing rope. The danger associated with ropes under load is often learned by painful experience. .
