Outdoor Knots - Waterproof Knot Tying Cards with Mini Carabiner - Includes 22 Rope Knots for Camping, Backpacking, and Scouting Scenarios

Good asset for EDC kit.

These are well illustrated and durably laminated. An excellent addition to a backpack. While you should practice your knots and know them by heart, a quick and easy reference can't hurt. Also good for learning the assorted knots. Only missing the double sheet bend.

Was a great stocking stuffer.

I’d like to start by saying that I wish I could give this item a 3.5, instead of a 3 or a 4, but that my issues with these cards may be preferable for other users, so I gave the item a 4 overall. Pros: These cards are definitely quality in terms of thickness and durability. Very well made. The print is small, as others have mentioned, but nothing my glasses can’t handle, and the smaller font means that each knot has a brief description prior to the instructions, and I like that kind of extra information. Cons: My first con may actually be a pro for some people, but is something that bothers me personally. I was under the impression that each card had their own holes with individual reinforcing brackets. Nothing in the product photos or descriptions led me to this conclusion, but something I had in my mind. Instead, the stack of cards is maintained by a single bracket. This is great to prevent losing any cards, but it means that the cards must be rotated in exactly the right way to not obscure any information on the card. (This statement applies to all cards except for the front of the first card and the back of the last.) Functionally, it means that looking at any of those in between cards means greatly increasing the foot print of the card bundle, and it makes it less friendly to hold, but would be fine on a flat surface. I tried to demonstrate this with several pictures. Basically, instead of five separate cards, it is a bundle of five cards attached together. The second con is something that will likely only bother anyone who is clinically OCD, but it does bother me. I looked at the photos after the fact, and the information was right there, but I failed to see it. The front of each card is given numbers 1 - 5, and the backs of each card are numbered 6 - 10, instead of 1 (front), 2 (back), 3 (front), and so forth. No change in functionality, but a really odd choice. Overall, these are a great set of cards, but picky buyers beware.

Great Guide I keep in my backpack

These little cards are the size of a credit card and made of the same type of plastic. I took the grommet/eyelet out with some needle nose pliers and now this is the perfect little set! They are double sided cards and come with a carabiner. When I took the grommet off the top and back cards got scratched a tiny bit but it’s not noticeable and it doesn’t bother me or the function of the cards. I bought two sets so my husband has one and I have one for our 72 hours kits. I also plan to take them camping. They won’t get ruined if they get wet. They are sturdy and the description/explanation is easy to follow. Great product.

Great for learning new ties
