Knot tying is amazing. After all these years it's still useful in everyday life. New knots are being invented... But the classic ones remain just as useful.

I like history, but I don't often encounter old technology with that level of modern relevance, so it really seems like something special. I'm surprised they don't make a bigger deal about learning them, like some people do about cursive.
