Publisher's Synopsis
For ages 9 to 12 years. Meet the 'Fab Five' including the figure of eight, bowline, sheet bend, and two half hitches. Discover why the common square knot is good in a bind but bad as a bend. Be prepared to tie a bowline loop fit for a rescue, use lashings to construct a flagpole or backyard tent, build a shelter using the taut-line hitch -- and tie a perfect surgeon's knot every time you try! Includes the knots, lashings and loops required for scouts, sailors, campers and other cool people. From 8 years and upwards.
