The situations are varied and familiar to all outdoor enthusiasts: A clothesline needs to be stretched between two tree trunks, but the excess end is only short - how do I best secure the line? The canoe needs to be securely moored while camping next to a fast-flowing river - which knot can I rely on? Whether you want to securely attach your accessories to the outside of your backpack, a tent rope has broken, or you need to hang food high in a tree, there are always situations in outdoor life where the obligatory piece of string in your pocket is not enough - a good knot is a must. The authors present 43 particularly useful knots. In addition to basic knots such as the bowline and the snook, which every outdoorsman should be able to master, lesser-known knots and variations are also shown, and explanations are given as to which situations they are particularly suitable for. 180 color illustrations help with re-tying the knots.
A special feature of this book: Additional illustrations for left-handed people make it easier for them to follow the knotting technique. Three tie knots are included for gentleman outdoor enthusiasts.
Civilian book from the "OUTDOOR Basiswissen" series, 96 pages, third edition from 2021. Civilian knots as a basis for what you need in the field.
