Best Arborist Knot Book

[Steve Connally]

Aside from the tree climbers companion, what's your go too book for knots. I cant find my tree climbers companion. I can see it but just can see where it is!

The free Sherrill Arborist Catalogue.
Seriously though, it seems to be always laying around (arbor porn

) and I've learned a lot of knots from it.

Otherwise, a new knot is created on a daily basis it seems, and there are just too many good online resources for me to buy another book.

I actually installed the "Knot Guide" app on my phone and tablet. Nice app and I always know where it is. I have the companion book and love it also but I find the app easier for knots.

Arborist knot by Steve Bullman

 

[Steve Connally]

Have you tried his knot app? Semi ok reviews in I tunes.

Jeff Jepson has just published his third book, Knots at Work.

The way that Jeff has developed the cross-referencing system makes it easy to find other knots for similar applications. This makes the book sort of three dimensional.

Take a look at this sample: Knots at Work: Jeff Jepson

That is a good book Tom, I have it also. I guess it depends what you are looking for and how much info you want. I like all my books but also like the simplicity of the app. Really it is just a reference for knot tying and not so much of a where to use them app. What I like the most is that I always have it in my pocket, being an app.

I have Jepson's new book. It's good.
However, it does not have as many knots as I had hoped.

I WOULD buy it again !

Unfortunately, I haven't found a single definitive Arborist Knot Reference.

I think at this point, you just have to do your research:
Multple books, internet, apps, catalogs, etc.

It's a web site (not a book), but I love this site:

http://www.animatedknots.com

I have the "Morrow Guide to Knots". It has Great illustrations, but no, it does not have an arborist section.

 

[Steve Connally]

I downloaded Jepson's app. It's pretty cool! Most of what I was looking for was on this app except for 1 specific knot. I'll keep looking. Thanks guys.

Tom. I have been searching for the looped prusic knot you were talking about on the base anchor tie in thread. It was a sliding dbl fisherman a I think. I can't find my tree climbers companion. It's usually in my truck. Anyway do you know of another name it may be known as. It's just not coming up with any o.y searches or variations on the net.

Double Fisherman's KNOT

For connecting two ends of rope...

Double fisherman's LOOP


http://www.tyeenandmaz.com/?page_id=1904

A cinching termination knot...basically a modified noose knot.

 

[Steve Connally]

Thx. His knot is tied with the prussic already in a loop with dbl fishermans. So you make a sliding loop after the. 6 coil is tied on the anchor line.

 

[TreeLogic]

Steve, the double fisherman's KNOT is probably the sliding version you're talking about. It is a way to create a secure loop out of a length of line. That loop can then be used to create a number of prusik knots around another rope.
