An illustrated field guide to rope work in the forest.

Twelve knots as step cards — the job each one does, numbered steps, how to check it, and exactly where it fails.

Six full diagrams:
• Working load vs breaking strength — what the label number really means
• What worn rope looks like — the four things you feel for
• Tarp ridgeline layout — which knot goes where, and which way to face the wind
• Food hang geometry — the three distances that all have to be right
• Log dragging — hitch placement, pull angle, and where not to stand
• Line of fire — the habit that prevents most serious rope injuries

Plus seven real forest jobs, rope selection, the safety rules that don’t bend, and a 14-day practice plan at ten minutes a day.

Written for people who go into forests, not for knot collectors.
