"We must define a knot, because if we do not, then we do not know what is a knot and what is not a knot."
Whether you are packing your bags for a hike, setting up camp, or hanging cliff-side on a windswept mountain, you will undoubtedly be required to tie some type of knot. If you are like me, you would twist, turn, and mangle the line in any old fashion until it would hold, and then pray you would be able to release it when the time came. The pain and frustration can quickly be cured by learning a few simple knots. Just as you wouldn’t use a wrench to chop down a tree, each knot has its time and place, whether it is hanging a tarp or tensioning guy lines. This link contains few quick and dirty knots that are invaluable around the camp. The article was created by Mike Lummio, who is the founder and head instructor at Buschcraft Northwest.
