Meet the 'Fab Five' including the figure eight, bowline, sheet bend, and two half hitches. Discover why the common square knot is good in a bind but bad as a bend. Be prepared to tie a bowline loop fit for a rescue, use lashings to construct a flagpole or backyard tent, build a shelter using the taut-line hitch--and a tie a perfect surgeon's knot every time you try! Create knots for fun and function! Make the marvelous monkey's fist, do the loopty-loop with the alpine butterfly, and learn to whip, shorten, and coil rope in a jiffy. Includes the knots, lashings, and loops required for Scouts, sailors, campers, and other cool people! Recommended for kids 8 and up.
