Great source on knots and rope splicing!

06-01-2012, 04:56 PM

I came across this ebook today on ropes, tying knots, and splicing and it has a lot of great information. I searched the forum and didn't seen any threads touching on this topic so I thought I'd add it. I think this could be VERY useful in a lot of survival and preparedness situations.

I searched the Forum rules and I didn't see anything about not posting links so if this is not allowed please delete post and message me.

If anyone has an iPhone there is a good app for this.

Its fun sitting on the couch tying knots. And then even funner when you can't get them undone.

You know what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like this?

Thanks for the links guys. Added them to favorites for review later. Lots to think about!

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

I never thought to check for an app. I just checked and there is also a great app called Knots Guide on the android market place as well.
