SHOP CASE KNIVESThe UST Learn & Live Kit - Knot Tying is built for the kind of hands-on learning that sticks. It’s not a classroom gimmick or a quick trick—this is a practical kit designed to teach the knots you’ll actually use in the field. Whether you’re teaching a new camper, sharpening your own skills, or building a survival-ready skill set, this kit makes it easy to practice, repeat, and master the fundamentals.
At the core of the kit is a set of rugged, weather-resistant cordage that holds its shape and won’t fall apart after a few uses. The included ropes are sized for real-world handling, so you’ll get a true feel for how each knot behaves under tension. The kit walks you through essential knots like the bowline, clove hitch, square knot, and more, giving you the confidence to tie them correctly and quickly when it matters.
What sets this kit apart is how it blends instruction with hands-on practice. The included guide is clear, straightforward, and built for outdoor learners. It breaks each knot down step-by-step, and the practice cord makes it easy to follow along without guessing. You’ll build muscle memory faster because you’re tying the knots the way you’d use them in real life—on a line, under load, and with a purpose.
This is the kind of gear that fits into any pack or classroom without taking up space. It’s compact, durable, and built for repeated use, so it’s a great tool for scouting, camping trips, emergency preparedness, or anytime you want to build practical skills. The Learn & Live Kit doesn’t just teach knots—it helps you build competence and confidence in the outdoors.
