    Comments about Outdoor Knots - Waterproof Plastic Fan Pack:

    I know how to tie several knots, but lets face it... there have been times when I needed to tie something off in a strange manner, but I couldn't because I couldn't recall how to tie the required knot. On occassion, I'd find myself trying to remember some step critical to a knot's performance, "Do you go over the bight or under?... Hmmm..." I needed something quick, easy, light weight, & durable.

    Over the years, I've owned several books & booklets on knot tying. Unfortunately, some gave instructions and illustrations that were so complex I couldn't even tie the knots I already knew! Moreover, paper books are not practical in the outdoors.

    However, this card set is different. Really, it is the best I've ever come across. There is a large enough variety of knots to satisfy most needs without overwhelming the novice, and the directions are VERY easy to understand. This card set is so small, light, & easy to use that I keep two sets in my sailboat, one in my sea kayak, and one in my home. They've saved a trip or two for me and have become trusted companions on the water.
