Knots at Work by Jeff Jepson

Knots at Work: A Field Guide for the Modern Arborist, by working arborist Jeff Jepson, is another of his invaluable books for professional and recreational climbers. Here Jepson teaches how to tie and use over 50 different knots, with plenty of illustrations to help the climber. Its pocket size makes it easy to carry and use in the field.

This book is available alone or with the three other Jepson books -- The Tree Climbers Companion (new 3rd edition), To Fell a Tree, and Groundie -- at a package price. These, along with the superb The Art and Science of Practical Rigging, are the foundation for any tree worker's education.
