Recommended Websites: AnimatedKnots.com – A cool animated knot tying guide
When I was in Job Corps in the Seamanship program in Astoria Oregon, I discovered the value and fun of knowing how to tie knots. My knot skills have been very useful to me over the years. Tying knots is actually kind of fun. I like to show off every now and then with my co-workers and demonstrate some of the “cooler” knots. I found a website dedicated to tying knots. It’s nicely organized into categories and has a great collection of well presented animated guides.
If you are interested in learning a few knots, this website is a must have.
Thank you to all Veterans of America
In the course of the year, I sometimes forget how fortunate I am to live in a country where I have so many freedoms and liberties, where I can work and make a decent wage, get a decent education, and where I am protected from harm from domestic and international terrors. Of course, with all the fighting that the US has been involved in during the past decade, it has not been easy to put aside the fact that all of my freedoms and comforts have come at a great price by veterans past and present. I take a lot for granted as an American.
