Featured in June 1999, Outside Magazine: "Remembering how to tie a bowline versus, say, a mooring hitch can tangle more than just the mind. So, for the sailor, fisherman, climber, or backpacker
who's rusty on such matters, there's now a handy set of shirt-pocket -sized cards that illustrate how to rig all the most common knots. The Pro-Knot
Fan Pack ($5; from J. E. Sherry Company, 800-809-0341) features 12 essential outdoor ties, from the sheet bend (a nautical twist used for binding two lines together) and the trucker's hitch (for lashing a canoe to the car roof) to the familiar yet often pesky square knot....Waterproof and durable, these plastic cheat sheets are riveted together in one corner so they can be fanned out for easy reference, no matter what your bind."
