    Knots book?

    I'm going to up my knot game and want to teach my kids at the same time on an upcoming trip. Anyone recommend a good book on knots or an outdoor book with a good knots section?

    thanks!

    The granddaddy of all knot books is the Ashley Book of knots.

    The literary classic is “The Ashley Book of Knots.” It was originally published in 1944. I think Derek Hansen’s book “The Ultimate Hang” has good illustrations on knots you would use while hammocking.

    The Animated Knots app for phone/tablet is a good resource.

    Try these. Not the book(s) you asked for, but probably worth a look.

    Those look like a great starting place. NetKnots especially appeals to my inner fly fisherman.
