Camping & Backpacking Knots

I love this knot illustration cards, i have been tying knots since boy-scout but have forgotten a bunch of them. Thanks for the great product! I love that its also plastic cards which makes it waterproof!

I had this in my shopping list for over a year before I finally bought it. I keep it in my vehicle and whenever I have to wait I try a new knot. I also separately invested in some glow in the dark cord to use, so I can practice in the dark.
I solo camp often, and regularly use a hammock. Learning these knots will definitely come in handy!

I’d like to start by saying that I wish I could give this item a 3.5, instead of a 3 or a 4, but that my issues with these cards may be preferable for other users, so I gave the item a 4 overall.Pros: These cards are definitely quality in terms of thickness and durability. Very well made. The print is small, as others have mentioned, but nothing my glasses can’t handle, and the smaller font means that each knot has a brief description prior to the instructions, and I like that kind of extra information.Cons: My first con may actually be a pro for some people, but is something that bothers me personally. I was under the impression that each card had their own holes with individual reinforcing brackets. Nothing in the product photos or descriptions led me to this conclusion, but something I had in my mind. Instead, the stack of cards is maintained by a single bracket. This is great to prevent losing any cards, but it means that the cards must be rotated in exactly the right way to not obscure any information on the card. (This statement applies to all cards except for the front of the first card and the back of the last.) Functionally, it means that looking at any of those in between cards means greatly increasing the foot print of the card bundle, and it makes it less friendly to hold, but would be fine on a flat surface. I tried to demonstrate this with several pictures. Basically, instead of five separate cards, it is a bundle of five cards attached together.The second con is something that will likely only bother anyone who is clinically OCD, but it does bother me. I looked at the photos after the fact, and the information was right there, but I failed to see it. The front of each card is given numbers 1 - 5, and the backs of each card are numbered 6 - 10, instead of 1 (front), 2 (back), 3 (front), and so forth. No change in functionality, but a really odd choice.Overall, these are a great set of cards, but picky buyers beware.
