Does anyone else have knot dyslexia like me? I'm ashamed! I can never get my head round knots but I'd love to be able to remember more than a reef knot and a granny knot... what makes it worse is that I have my CS38 Aerial Rescue qualification and I can't even remember a bowline after it's been demonstrated right in front of my eyes. We use prussek loops so they are ready tied and we just loop them through itself and then whack a carabiner on the end and attach to your harness!

I'm somewhere along that line with you. Though I used ropes a lot in my work and social life. Sent via smoke-signal from a woodland in Scotland.
Knots in your social life, eh?.............Care to expand on that?![]()
