The Right Knot for Any Job
When you open up a drawer or box of tools, it is immediately
obvious that some of them are right and some of them are
wrong for the job you have in mind. When you have a job to
do with rope, the knots you know will serve you as your
toolbox. Just as you would not have much use for a toolbox with
just one tool in it, you would not want to do different jobs with
rope or string with just one knot. You will want to learn a few
different types of knots and learn to use the right one for your
application.
