I haven't seen that book, but, as you probably know, a web search will turn up many sites with cool info on knots.

BTW was there a change in the knots described in Doug's PSP instructions? I just looked at the PDF instructions at http://www.equipped.org/psp/psp_survival_instructions_0204.pdf and they aren't the ones I thought I remembered <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />.

Anyway, somewhere on this site I thought I learned two useful knots: a sheet bend "with an extra loop", and a "more secure" form of bowline. Does anyone know where to find diagrams for these?

Thanks,
Steve
