About The Book
Developed in collaboration with the National Association for Search and Rescue (NASAR), Knots for Search & Rescue is a practical field reference for one of the most essential skills in rescue operations. Clear step-by-step illustrations and instructions demonstrate how to tie, use, and inspect critical knots for tasks such as securing loads, creating anchors, rappelling, and patient transport. The guide focuses on the knots most often required in SAR operations, emphasizing reliability, efficiency, and safety. Quick-reference sections explain when to use specific knots, common mistakes to avoid, and how to check for proper tying under stress or low-light conditions. A durable format and concise layout make it easy to consult in the field, even with gloves or limited visibility. Compact and field-tested, this guide is an indispensable tool for both new and experienced responders working in demanding search and rescue environments. Made in USA.
