KnotStep is a calm, illustrated guide to 44 knots that matter on the water, on the rock, and at camp. Every knot has clear numbered steps, a hand-drawn diagram for each step, a holding-strength rating, a plain use-it-for line, and an honest watch-out note so you know its limits.
Grouped by what you are doing:
- Fishing: line to hook, line to line, and reel knots like the Palomar, Improved Clinch, and Blood Knot.
- Boating: the Bowline, Cleat Hitch, Clove Hitch, Anchor Bend, and more.
- Climbing: the Figure Eight tie in, Double Fisherman's, Prusik, and other essentials.
- Camp: the Taut-Line Hitch, Trucker's Hitch, lashings, and quick releases.
What you can do:
