Introduction


                   Disclaimers

                   In order to achieve the maximum photographic effect, the text may refer to
                   one type of cord or line while the photographs show another. Trust the text for
                   information, and trust the photo sequences for the proper knot-tying steps.
                       It is suggested in several places in this book that a specific knot will work,
                   if tied correctly, to save or help save a life. This occurs almost exclusively in the
                   climbing-knot chapters. The use of knots in this book to save or help save a
                   life, however, should only be undertaken by people qualified to use the knots
                   appropriately. This is not a how-to book for activities other than the tying of
                   knots themselves.
