I loved the knots book. It turned me on to Clifford Ashley, and also got me questioning the gospel according to Boy Scouts. BSA taught me that the square knot was some kind of lifesaver, and here Klutz was telling me it was the worst knot ever. It's a small thing, but that was kind of a big moment for me in terms of developing my critical thinking. Also taught me the constrictor knot, which I have used instead of the clove hitch ever since.
