The one I would love to find again was about making lanyards, it had an excellent collection of decorative knots but I lost it somewhere along the way.

There are plenty of books out there on knots, is there any particular book that you are looking for? I know my Dad had quite a few books on all kinds of topics and I know for sure he had a pretty old book on knots, if I find it over the weekend I will post the title on the forum.

Hi Cranmere,

Had a bit of spare time today so I checked out the books that belonged to my Father, the book 'The Scout Book of Gadgets and Dodges' I found an original and it's in perfect condition, as for the book on Knots I found a book called 'The Ashley Book of Knots' by Clifford W.Ashley which is quite old about as old as the Scouting book but has excellent drawings.

Hope this is of some help.

I think bushcraft is spending time in the outdoors, generally the woods, but can be absolutely anywhere, even your back garden and using knowledge of the uses of the natural world to make your time spent outdoors as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
