Year: 1995 Language: english Author: Walter B. Gibson Genre: Guide Publisher: Lifetime Books,Inc Edition: Fourth Edition ISBN: 0-8 11 9-0829-1 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 146 Description: Few things are easier than making a knot in a piece of string or rope. Although, how good or efficient that knot may be is another story. Some people just can't seem to tie knots that will stay, while others have an aptitude for tying knots that just won't come untied, no matter how hard they work at it. Someone once quipped, "Almost everybody knows how to tie a knot, but practically nobody knows how to tie one right." That is very nearly true. At least 99 percent of the population knows how to tie a knot of some sort; and of those, at least 99 percent do it blindly or by rote, unless they have had some instruction or have made a study of rope work. "Of course I know how to tie knots!" a person might insist. "It's one of the first things I was taught." And probably, that lesson was the last, given by an instructor who had been similarly taught — the wrong way. If a survey were taken, it would probably prove that the greatest hazard to human safety, aside from driving in holiday traffic or rocking a boat filled with people who cannot swim, is not knowing how to tie a knot properly. All ties or fastenings that use rope or cordage fall into three general classifications: knots, hitches, and bends. All are "knots" in the full sense of the term, and there are some ties which have more than one classification, their purposes being interchangeable.

Description: Few things are easier than making a knot in a piece of string or rope. Although, how good or efficient that knot
may be is another story. Some people just can't seem to tie knots that will stay, while others have an aptitude for tying
knots that just won't come untied, no matter how hard they work at it.
Someone once quipped, "Almost everybody knows how to tie a knot, but practically nobody knows how to tie one
right." That is very nearly true. At least 99 percent of the population knows how to tie a knot of some sort; and of
those, at least 99 percent do it blindly or by rote, unless they have had some instruction or have made a study of rope
work.
"Of course I know how to tie knots!" a person might insist. "It's one of the first things I was taught." And probably,
that lesson was the last, given by an instructor who had been similarly taught — the wrong way. If a survey were
taken, it would probably prove that the greatest hazard to human safety, aside from driving in holiday traffic or rocking
a boat filled with people who cannot swim, is not knowing how to tie a knot properly.
All ties or fastenings that use rope or cordage fall into three general classifications: knots, hitches, and bends. All
are "knots" in the full sense of the term, and there are some ties which have more than one classification, their purposes
being interchangeable.
