We’ve all tried to learn essential knots by looking at pictures and illustrations, but it’s often a lost cause requiring us to fall back to less-than-ideal knots or hitches that don’t hold or are impossible to loosen. No more! This course will teach you a dozen knots and hitches via video, to ensure you know what to tie, and how and when you need to tie it.
