This carefully considered book covers 36 knots for kayaking enthusiasts. However, these knots can also be useful for sailors, mountaineers, and anyone else involved in outdoor activities as well as for rescue basic techniques. There are 80 photos and 9 videos, as well as techniques and many suggestions.
The aim of these pages is to learn new knots, understand their typology and memorise the techniques. However, knots are not easy to memorise, but they are essential and indespensable allies in certain circumstances. Fot this reason, the knots are presented in sequence, providing preparatory knowledge for subsequent applications. The book starts with the easiest knots and works up to the hardest ones.
This effective method uses techniques, analogies and associations to help you study and remember knots.
You won’t need Ariadne’s thread to find your way around or back again. The thread can be used to tie strong, practical knots that are easy to undo and suitable for the situation.
It’s a great book for anyone interested in kayaking and much more. I would much rather have read it than written about it! 🙂
