Backpacker's Outdoor Knots provides readers step-by-step instructions for tying the most useful knots and hitches, splices and lashings for hikers, backpackers, and campers; info on the best type of rope and knot for each task at hand; how to properly prepare, coil, and maintain ropes for durability and reliability. The Core Skills series breaks down its subject into the most important and useful topics, providing practical, necessary, and portable information that is useful in the field. Each title in the Backpacker Core Skills series will introduce readers to basic and intermediate skills needed to safely and successfully get along in the outdoors. We expect readers will carry these along in their pack or pocket and reference them as needed, therefore the text and images will be organized in a brief and accessible manner. The hallmark of these books is that they organize detailed, in-depth, practical content for immediate and fast reader access in a portable package. Each title will be 96 pages and incorporate color photos and illustrations as needed throughout the interior.
