Re: [at-l] laces and knots

>Yes, There is a much better way of tying shoes than the knot most people
use... A Square knot! Make a loop out of each lace, and tie the loops
together with a square knot. Pull each side of the loop which is not the
loose end very hard when tying. The knot will still untie by pulling on the
loose end, but it will resist coming undone because of the superior holding
power of the square knot. Source "Camping and Woodcraft" Horace Kephart
originally published in 1917.
