Joel Hooks is always up on the latest materials, techniques and trends in parachute cord, due to his day job as project manager for Pepperell—the world's leading parachute cord manufacturer and supplier. Joel learned the basics of knot craft as a teenager, camping with the Boy Scouts in his native Texas. At Pepperell, Joel has been immersed in all aspects of parachute cord—from operating the machines that make it, to giving demonstrations on knot tying, and everything in between.
