This wonderfully appealing and practical gift book features step-by-step instructions on tying over 50 knots and when and where to use them.

The beautiful two-colour illustrations and clear instructions quickly teach you how to tie classic knots, such as the Reef Knot and Bowline, through to more specialist knots, such as the Alpine Butterfly and the Taut Line Hitch.

The knots are clearly organised for safe application across various activities including:

• Sailing
• Climbing
• Fishing
• Camping
• Decoration

The helpful introduction and reference section tells you all you need to know about knot work, including explaining the key terms, recommended techniques and a complexity rating for tying each knot. So, if you want to make a rope ladder with your kids, sail the oceans, be safe climbing in the mountains or make a True Lovers knot, this book has every knot you should know how to tie, plus many more.

It makes the perfect gift for craftsmen, women, and the adventurer. Featuring an exclusive foreword from Tim Treloar of TT Adventures, co-presenter of the BAFTA-winning Survival School with Bear Grylls.
