Know your Knots!

Although there are literally thousands of different knots, there is a selection of rope knots most commonly used by boaters, paddlers, and all outdoor enthusiasts. The knots illustrated and animated on NetKnots.com include the best knots from the three primary knot categories: Loop Knots (make a loop in the rope), Bends (rope to rope knots) and Hitches (rope to object knots). Practice until you master a few of these knots and they will serve you well!
