'Knots At Work" 工作中的繩結   -Jeff Jepson

起初，有了繩子，但繩子沒有形狀和功能，然後人們說，讓我們創造結，讓繩子具有工作能力，人們看到他們的結創造的很好。

無論什麼時後打結，你都會成為人類最古老工具的創造者。不幸的是，今天大多數人由於“進步”而不知道好的結多麼的好。

然而，有一大群人仍在工作和休聞活動經常使用結，登山者、攀岩者、水手、童子軍、外科醫生、漁民、消防員、朔溪、大樓外牆工作技師，都在不同程度上使用繩結。

但我冒昧地說，沒有人比從事樹木工作者更頻繁的使用繩結。

-Jeff Jepson, 'Knots At Work"

"In the beginning, there was rope. But the rope lacked form and function. Then Man said "Let us create knots so we can use the rope and put it to work." And Man saw that the knots he had created were very good.

"Whenever you tie a knot, you become a creator of one of the oldest tools known to humankind. Unfortunately, most people today will never know just how "good" knots are. Their lives, thanks to "progress", have incrementally drifted away from tasks and trades that require their use.

-

"There is however, a large clan of rugged individuals who still utilize knots with repeated regularity in their work and recreational pursuits. Cavers, sailors, scouts, surgeons, fishermen, firefighters, river runners, rope rescue technicians, rock climbers, mountain climbers, event riggers, and even window cleaners all use knots to varying degrees. But I venture to say that no one ties knots more frequently, and of such variety, than those who work in the tree care profession."
