This is just fabulous. I always have trouble with knots while my partner is a genius at them and I just leave it to him. But, what would I do without him?? is a genuine Q. This will help me conquer my knot-tying challenges. thanks
It never hurts to be non-reliant on others and build independent skills, that’s for sure.
I did learn about all the knots when I was a cub scout but had completely forgotten. This guide and illustrations to knot tying and knowing knots is perfect. It is very important to know which knot is suitable for which situation too.
Very helpful! Def bookmarking this for when I go camping next time!
That’s so much useful for camping & hiking, thanks for sharing dear 😀
Will be sharing with one of my friends as well.
Thank you and I didn’t know there was much to knots. haha I was rubbish at girl scouts. xx
This is fantastic, my daughter started learning knots at cubs on Wednesday night. This brings back a lot of memories from being in Scouts. I’ll have to refresh my knowledge!
This infographic is really useful. We do not camp as frequently as I’d like so this is definitely so useful for us to learn. I have save this infographic for my whole family to learn this. Thank you so much for sharing this.
This is so useful. Whenever I make a knot it either ends up opening very easily or not opening at all 🙂 Now I will try some of these ways, I hope they will work well
I used to go hiking but i never knew any of the knots though some looked by knitting knots. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, very useful! While camping (and randomly throughout life!) I always forget how to do proper, strong knots! I’ll have to study this. Thanks!
I am seriously in awe! I never knew anything about knots. During an instance.our car got stuck in mud at the beach and due to a wrong knot, we have dent on the back door of our four wheel. The rope literally broke with great force when another car was teying to pull our car out of the puddle. This is so informative. Thanks for sharing.
AW this is awesome! I love hiking, and enjoy it so much because it lets me reconnect with nature.
When I was a kid… I went FLY FISHING… And before fishing we had to learn some basic knots. My family thought I wasn’t paying attention… So when the fishing instructor asked for a volunteer to do one of the hard knots, my family said GIGI DO IT —- and um, I PROVED THEM WRONG 😉 I will always remember that, LOL! Felt awesome !
And once you know them, these skills always stay with you!
This is awesome! Although, my idea of camping is more like glamping. LOL! But, this is such a great thing that everyone needs to know.
This is awesome! I have been wanting to learn more about rope tying! What great graphics too!
Thanks so much Angela. We think presenting it this way makes it easy to follow. Have a great time out there!
This is SO awesome. I often go out, hiking and camping with my kids, I totally need to know about these knots. I love the graphics!
