It's quite frail. Perhaps twice as thick as a shoelace.

I purchased the equipment for a 15-year-old who is learning to climb and rope. The knot cards are fantastic, as they are simple and straightforward to use. I'm not crazy about the two pieces of practice rope I got. The ends haven't been treated in any way. The mantle and kern are coming apart; it's fine; I know how to melt and seal them properly; I just wish the seller had spent a little more time and effort to provide a quality, ready-to-use product.
This was purchased to assist me in learning how to tie knots. The rope is made of. There is a core and it is 25 inches thick. The core makes it difficult to work with, so I used a solid braid instead, and the cards are merely flash cards with no written instructions on how to tie the knots. I eventually went to YouTube to find videos to show me, and the cards served as reminders. And that's exactly why I'd get it: if you're teaching someone how to tie knots, the cards are great for practice at home.
Knots are something that every man, or woman for that matter, should be familiar with. This is an excellent introduction to the many different types of knots that can be used, as well as a useful learning tool. br>My son adores it; instead of bringing his dreaded phone with him when we go somewhere in the car, he now brings this with him without complaint - Now that he's finished the book, he's learning how to use the knots in real life while assisting me around the house - I would strongly suggest it.
This is an excellent educational resource. With excellent illustrations, it's short and to-the-point. br>One piece of advice: Wrap the ropes loosely rather than tightly. The rope's ends aren't completely unfolded. br>The bends/kinks make matching the images on the card difficult. br>Try matching the illustration on the card with one of your ropes that has been wrapped for shipping for a while. Thank you, Chas.
Really, all you need is about $2 in materials and some online printouts to make this, but it's well-designed and the manufacturer appears to have spared no expense on quality. In my case, I've been meaning to re-learn my old Boy Scout knots for years but haven't found the time; however, a recent camping trip provided me with some forced tranquility, and what could be more tranquil than practicing knots? Is there nothing but disappointment in store? In contrast to the orange and striped lengths shown, my package included a striped and black rope. The use of different colors makes it easier to practice the more difficult knots. I'd like to at least get the colors advertised if I'm paying $14 for a couple of lengths of rope. br>br>So, if you haven't found the motivation to learn your knots, this might be the thing to motivate you. Even if it's just because you're thinking to yourself, "I just spent $14 on rope and laminate cards, and I'm going to get my money's worth. ".
This was a Christmas present for my 11-year-old nephew, who has recently developed an interest in ropes and knots. When he first saw his gift, he was ecstatic. Though I haven't seen him since Christmas Day, so I'm not sure how well he's doing with the knots, the kit appeared to be a good beginner kit, and the cards were laminated and will be handy and useful.
After my father-in-law had open heart surgery, I purchased this for him. I wanted to get him something to do while he was sitting down because he can't sit still. It appealed to him, and he relished the opportunity to learn the various knots. Because the knot tying guide is waterproof, it can easily be slipped into a pocket and taken with you. Very useful- dandy.
As a firefighter, I wanted something small that I could keep in my bag and use for knot training on occasion, so I put together this kit, which includes two pieces of rope and a section of webbing. The ends are unfinished, as others have mentioned, but a little flame took care of that. Overall, it would make an excellent present for a new firefighter or scout.
