His unique book explains how to select and use ropes, cordage, and webbing for the outdoors. Invaluable information is provided on rope handling techniques (how to avoid dreaded tangles) and the best methods for rope care and maintenance. Step-by-step directions for tying over 40 knots are clearly illustrated with photographs. Other useful features include a glossary and a knot comparison chart by activity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChapters include Knots Basics (from Tripod Lashing to the Figure 8 Loop), Knots for Hikers and Climbers (from the Prusik knot to the Autoblock), Knots for Canoeists and Kayakers (from the Buntline hitch to the Bowline on a bight), and more. This is the definitive text on ropes and knots for anyone who plays in the outdoors!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"hide-on-mobile\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e160 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMountaineers Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eISBN:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e978-0-89886-962-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003ePublished:\u003c\/label\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMar 16, 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"contributors\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eby\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mountaineers.org\/members\/clyde-soles?ajax_load=1\" class=\"contact-modal pat-plone-modal\" data-pat-plone-modal='{\"title\":\"Profile\",\"content\":\".ajax-wrapper\",\"loadLinksWithinModal\":false,\"prependContent\":\"\",\"width\":\"660px\",\"actionOptions\":{\"displayInModal\":false,\"reloadWindowOnClose\":false,\"disableAjaxFormSubmit\":true}}'\u003eClyde Soles\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn excellent resource for beginning and intermediate backcountry adventurers.\n\u003cdiv class=\"reviewCredit\"\u003e— Outside Bozeman\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thorough guide. -Sacramento Bee (Also ran in syndication)\n\u003cdiv class=\"reviewCredit\"\u003e— Sacramento Bee (Also ran in syndication)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Outdoor Knots Book is a great resource for any outdoor types in your family.
