Knots to learn?

[MSlack]

I am doing my cs 30,31, 38,39 in January at and I want to prepare myself by learning as many knots as I can I know a few but which ones should I concentrate on the most? Any advice will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Then try with opposite hands.

 

Keep a piece of 6mm line in your pocket or tied to the loo roll holder!

 

Good luck!

you need to be able to demonstrate a 3 knot closed system....ie, a bowline with a prussik/blakes etc tied on a tail and the relevant stop knots. I wouldn't worry too much, your instructor will take you through it all, but mastering the basics will speed things up a bit
