Episode 036-037: Practical Knot-Tying at Home and at Sea

How are your knot-tying skills? Does the mantra “if you can’t tie a knot, tie a lot” sound like you? In these two episodes, we do a countdown of my personal top-10 knots. What are the best knots for any given situation? Why should you never use a square knot? How do you tie a knot around a tree limb that you can’t reach? How do you untie that same knot? How do you tie a secure knot if you’re wearing mittens? How do you untie a knot after it’s been really tightened down or gotten wet? What are the first knots you should learn? Find out the answers to these and many more questions on this episode.
