The six card/twelve page waterproof plastic card set contains 23 best all purpose rope knots clearly illustrated and described, bound together with a no-rust brass grommet in the corner!

Use the included cordage and carabiner to practice tying knots with. You can learn to tie two ropes together with the two cords (28 inches each of high quality 3 millimeter (approx 1/8") static line cordage which is higher quality than paracord and easier to tie and untie), learn to tie rope to an object (a hitch knot) with the included carabiner and of course use one cord to practice loop knots such as the Bowline. A mini carabiner is also included for attaching the cards to your backpack.
