Rescue knots are an essential part of a rescuer’s skills set. For the rescuer, the type of muscle-memory needed for the most basic rescue knots is one of the most valuable skills to build. At Roco Rescue, our teaching approach is to master a few knots that can be used across many scenarios. And, just like tying your shoes, with repeated practice tying these knots should become second nature.

Note: While we realize there are thousands of knots, and lots of debate about which knot is best, we prepare our students with the most practical ones based on the techniques we teach in our classes.
