Book Reviews of the Ashley Book of Knots
Customer Review: An essential addition to the outdoorsman's library!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a hunter, camper, and outdoors columnist, I am constantly called upon to use various bits of ropework as I go about the day's activities. I thought I had a fair bit of knowledge on the subject of rope until I read this book. I simply couldn't believe there were so many ways to use the stuff.If for any reason you have to use rope, you should read this book. If you are interested in macreme, this book is for you. If you like the nautical life, this book is a must-have. If you like braiding, read this book. Even if you're only going on a road trip, this book will show you a dozen ways to lash your luggage down tight.
The section on serving the ends of line to prevent its unraveling is particularly useful to anyone that uses rope a lot. And, if you have to lift heavy loads with a pulley, you'll love the section dedicated to just that jubject. I work around a farm and am always looking for new ways to use rope. Every time I breeze through the pages, I learn something new.
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, carpenters, craftsmen, hobbyists, mariners and historians, this book is for you. I never thought of ropework as an artform but it is. The day I added this title to my library was a good day. I cannot say enough about the Ashley Book of Knots and recommend it without hesitation. Every library should have a copy.
