Ropes, Knots, and Rigging
Proper knot tying is an important safety factor for arborists and tree workers. Poorly tied knots can lead to rope slippage and cause serious bodily injury or death. These books contain all of the commonly used knots in tree care work along with the proper methods to tie them.
Knots at Work is Jepson's most recent publication. In this 184-page field guide, more than 50 different knots are presented. Both aspects of knot knowledge are given equal time—knot construction (tying the knots) and knot application (using the knots).
This information can be quickly grasped, because of the lavishly illustrated pages, easy-to-read text, and unique cross-reference format. And because of the book's compact size it’s more likely to be used in the field where it’s needed most.
A handy guide with photos of the knots and short descriptive text. Subjects covered include stopper knots, hitches, loops, running knots, shortenings, tackle, bends, knots for fishermen and decorative and applied knots. When more than one piece of rope is used, each is colored differently for easy identification
