How to get good at tying knots/ropes as a beginner? Should I buy a book, watch youtube videos, or join some type of outdoorsman club? (lemmy.world)

I believe knot-tying would be a great, life-long skill to have, especially being able to know which knots work best for different situations, like when the rope is thick and not very flexible or bendable.

I have lots of nylon rope and fishing line of various diameters, but don't know where to begin and/or the best way to get started. My goal is to make this a long-term hobby and spend 1-2 hours per week improving my knot-tying knowledge, skill, and speed.

I was in scouts most of my childhood and I still find myself using the knots I learned around the house. Even though I just found this website after seeing your post, I think it's just what you need: https://www.animatedknots.com/complete-knot-list

I second this source. I'm lucky enough to still have the app on my phone that still works perfectly even though it's gone on the google app store. Looks like the apple version of the app is still available.

It's not perfect, but if I ever got stuck somewhere with no internet and still happened to have my phone and it charged, I would have a fuck ton of offline, robust information.
