					<description><![CDATA[I agree with you almost 100%.

I&#039;d add the Prusik to the list - and you already have it in the text. There&#039;s nothing quite like it for adjusting a ridge line, and there&#039;s always the possibility that someday, somewhere, you might need to tie into a static line. (I&#039;ve been on a trip where those of us who had crampons rigged a static line for the ones who had just microspikes, and the microspikers Prusik&#039;ed up the line one at a time.)

I might replace the clove hitch with a constrictor knot. It&#039;s more secure and doesn&#039;t jam quite as easily. But the clove hitch is easier to remember, so you&#039;re right, it&#039;s probably a better choice for a beginner.

Round-turn-and-two-half hitches. Because sometimes you want to tie a rope to a ring, post, or tree.

I&#039;d add the double-overhand-around-the-line as a safety knot, because all loops and bends need a safety knot to keep the running ends in place.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Andrew Skurka&#039;s McCarthy hitch is a handy way to secure a tarp or tent tieout if you&#039;ve got enough cord. The Slippery Sheet Bend is a good way to attach cords for long tieouts. The trucker&#039;s hitch is usually tied as a slippery hitch. Some knots are for convenience, others are for security.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Trad climbing and raft guiding lent me some pretty wicked knot skills. I can rig 20 bowling balls to the back of a bear, no problems. One time deep in the wilds of Appalachia (a 4 mi walk to a 2 mi hitch) the shoulder strap of my pack ripped out when it fell off a picnic table. Ended up hiking 2 weeks with this fix that took five badass minutes. http://i.imgur.com/mCl71oy.jpg]]></description>
