Tying knots are essential in daily activities, from tying shoes to more complex rescue practices. This course covers basic rope terminology, parts of the rope, and components of knot and hitches. I'll also be demonstrating 25 knots and hitches from a first person's point of view. 

After completing this course, with practice and some creativity, students will be able to combine different knots and hitches to suit their needs (like strapping a mattress to the roof of their vehicles during a move). Students will also be able to build upon what they've learned here in order to safely descend down treacherous terrain or even rescue a friend in need.
