Store description
Learn how to tie 300+ knots for fishing, camping, climbing, boating, sailing, bushcraft, survival, rescue, arborist work, scouting, and everyday rope work.
Knot IQ is the official knot-tying guide from The Bear Essentials. It combines true interactive 3D, guided knot selection with KnotFINDER, and offline access in one practical reference.
Find the right knot with KnotFINDER
Not sure what to tie? Start with the job instead of a knot name. Answer a few quick questions about your situation. KnotFINDER narrows the choices, explains why each recommendation fits, and helps you compare suitable knots.
Control every step in true interactive 3D
Do more than watch a fixed animation. Rotate the knot freely, zoom in, scrub through each step, reverse the sequence, pause, and adjust the playback speed. Change the rope colours for better visibility or switch to left-handed mode.
Learn where and why a knot works
Review practical uses, strengths, trade-offs, and related knots. Interactive scenes connect knot knowledge to real jobs: tap a task to see what to tie and where it belongs.
