What This Book
Is Not About

If you’re looking for the most comprehensive encyclopedia
on every type of knot in existence, this probably isn’t the
right book for you. On the other hand, if you would like to
learn how to tie some very useful “multi-purpose” knots
that can be used in a variety of situations, you’re reading
the right book!
Many other books have been written that contain instruc-
tions for tying more knots and that’s fine, they definitely have
their place. This book was written with the “less is more”
philosophy in mind.
If you ever find yourself in a real-life survival situation, it’s
going to be stressful. When people are under stress, it can
be difficult to think clearly. Some people may read a book
that contains instructions on how to tie hundreds of knots
and attempt to learn as many as they can. When the chips
are down and you really need to remember the skills that
will help you survive, the author would personally prefer to
be really proficient in tying fewer knots that have multiple uses
