Geared towards professional search and rescue, police, fire and military training, Search and Rescue Knots provides an at-your-finger-tips reference for tying 27 of the most popular and useful knots used in emergency situations. The selection of knots was determined through research, consultation and our history of developing sophisticated training materials for the fire rescue field.
The precisely designed and detailed graphics emphasize key steps and clearly show critical overlapping elements, arrows and other guides to help you understand complex knots.
Although some of these knots appear in our Climbing Knots application, many are new and geared specifically to emergency situations.
Follow along with the written steps or rotate your phone to the side for a zoomed view.
