Read MoreThis course cleared up a lot of confusion about the names of different parts of a line when tying a knot and when a line is being used. It is quite helpful. This course has improved my methods of using knots and lines right away. It showed me how to better store my lines, plus how to prep them prior to usage. There are also some surprises in here, and ways to use cordage that you might not know about If you don't think that you can improve your outdoor experience by using cordage, then you are mistaken. I highly recommend this course to young and old alike.

Excellent on line course, worth the money. Taught at the right pace & very useful that you can go back over a knot if you didn’t understand it the 1st time.
