Navigation Notebook - ESEE Knives ESEE's new Navigation Notebook has 45 pages of waterproof grid paper, plus navigation, survival, and escape & evasion tips. Most importantly, it has two transparent map overlay cards printed with different scale grids and a protractor. Good for search and rescue, law enforcement, surveyors, military, backpackers, and bushcrafters.
Outdoor Knot Cards - Pro-Knot This is an excellent set of reference cards, giving instructions and uses for 20 different knots, printed front-and-back on 6 waterproof ring-bound cards. These are credit card sized. They give instructions for pretty much all the knots you need to know to get the job done in the outdoors, with knots and hitches for climbing, camping, fishing, securing loads, mechanical advantage, and more. I strongly recommend these, for anyone learning new knots, or who may just be a little rusty next time you head outdoors. Really, these are great. You should get them. The whole set weighs less than an ounce, so toss them in your pack and keep them with you!
They're pretty good. I am making my son learn knots from them, one knot a day. Yesterday he learned the sheet bend.
