Pro-Knot Outdoor Knots - Portable Waterproof Knot Book

For the size and price, this little guide packs a lot of punch and information. Each card, the size of a playing card, is laminated and feels solid. They are double sided, so you get 20 knots in 10 cards. I've learnt all of them, though only remember a few without needing to refresh my memory. The brass grommet grips the cards well and feels sturdy. It has the dual benefit of keeping the cards neatly together and providing an eyelet, should you wish to use your new-found knot knowledge to tie it to something (I would think a reef knot would be appropriate). Each side has a single knot, with the benefits and uses of the knot clearly and succinctly explained, along with several clear pictures with instructions. I found the instructions easy to understand on the whole, and the thin red lines to indicate the flow of the rope are very well done. Some knots did take more trial and error than others, but I got there. This makes for an essential reference guide to have somewhere you won't forget it. It is a super compact and handy package with some great essential knots to help you out in the car, in an emergency, while traveling. I would, however, recommend that you don't chuck this in your bugout bag and forget about it. Practice at least some of the ones you think will be most handy for you. This will really make a big difference in a crisis: you will either remember the knots, or recall will be relatively easy. Muscle memory will also have been formed. Far better than learning from a scratch in a high stress situation.

The knots are perfect for my needs. Backpacking, hiking, camping these cards are perfect to reference. Print is easily read. Diagrams are easy to follow. Cards are durable plastic. Very pleased with this purchase. Highly recommend.

I learned tying knots as part of being an Eagle Scout. As an adult I've taken the fact I know knots for granted. I just assume everyone knows how to tie a knot... I was wrong. As part of a week long canoe trip it was requested that I teach the others in the group knots. I bought these as a handy reference guide and teaching tool and gave one to each person. They were awesome as a visual aid for teaching. Each person used it to help them while they practiced. I like the fact they are waterproof and have a carabiner, so you can clip them to your equipment for easy access and not worry about it getting damaged.

Still largely in one piece 6 years later. I appreciate how small and thin this little booklet is, so it's always in my backpack when I go climbing or camping. Also makes for a nice, cheap gift that will inevitably be useful for the right person. My only complaint is that the laminate film is peeling off the cards, especially the first and last cards, probably from rubbing against the small items I keep in my daypack's top pocket (where I keep this thing). Haven't gotten it wet yet, but I'm skeptical that this booklet will last indefinitely. At least I got my money's worth.

This little gem has been part of my gear for more than ten years. I don't take it on every trip, but when I want to review a knot or learn a new one, it's indispensable. The illustrations are excellent and the chosen knots are ones that are actually useful. Recommended.

This is a great resource to keep on hand for outdoor sports, camping, and survival prep. The instructions are fairly easy to understand. The pages are completely waterproof and very durable. They are attached to one another, making it hard to loose them. I got this as a gift for my husband. He loves it, but our two elementary-aged kids and myself use it regularly too!

Nice. They even have a little story on some of the cards about how to remember how to tie the knot.

I got these reference cards to compliment my recent purchase of paracord. The details on these cards are very simple to understand and they are constructed quite well. The easy to follow detail instructions for tying knot are: -Bowline. -Tautline Hitch. -Sheep Shank. -Square Knot. -Water Knot. -Timber Hitch. -Buntline Hitch. -Rolling Hitch. -Clove Hitch. -Constrictor Knot. -Half Hitch. -Sheet Bend. -Prusik Knot. -Double Fisherman's. -Cleath Hitch. -Trucker's Hitch. -Figure Eight. -Mooring Hitch. -Butterfly Knot. -Bowling On a Bight. These cards are great for a beginner and is a good reference for an veteran as well. You get six easy to understand waterproof plastic cards, bound with a brass grommet in the corner, and it measures just 2 1/4 inches x 3 1/2 inches, fits in pocket, backpack, boat, glove box or anywhere you might need them. Weighs less than one ounce. For the low asking price of this item and the high quality of this product along with the vast knowledge you can learn from these cards I'm giving this item 5 stars all the way with a strong recommendation to buy. ****** If you enjoyed my review please vote this review as helpful and feel free to ask me any additional questions and I'll answer them to the best of my abilities ******

Représentation assez courte mais simple des noeuds les plaus important. Que ça soit pour le travailleur sur corde, le pompier, ou le pêcheur.

正直行って出番は数少ないと思いますが持ってるだけで満足してしまう物。

No big book to explore. Most of the knots I was looking for. Easy to follow with minimal steps. Being a set of connected cards makes it easy to carry.
