What’s on the More Knots poster
A 6-row table: Knot · For · Note.
Beyond the essential six.
- Alpine butterfly — A loop in the middle of a rope — Loads from any direction
- Prusik — A grip that slides then holds — Climbing, ridge lines
- Trucker's hitch — Tensioning a line — Gives ~3:1 purchase
- Water knot — Joining webbing — Tape and slings
- Rolling hitch — Tying to another rope or a spar — Resists lengthwise pull
- Constrictor — Binding tightly — Very hard to untie
The trucker's hitch is the most useful of these day to day: it tensions a roof-rack strap or a washing line properly.

- Who is the More Knots poster for?
- More Knots belongs to the Practical skills section rather than to a school year, because life skills is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning outdoors can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the More Knots poster?
- Learn one knot per job. Twelve knots badly is worse than six well. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so More Knots belongs on the wall where that life skills work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with More Knots?
- Building a Fire, Six Knots and Foraging Safety sit alongside More Knots in the Practical skills section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Building a FireSix KnotsForaging Safety
- Is the More Knots poster free to download and print?
- Yes. More Knots downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Practical skills section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the More Knots poster print at?
- More Knots is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of More Knots loses nothing.Printing guide
