A knot you have tied five times is not a knot you have
This instrument has always ended its advice in the same place — practise it before you rely on it — and then had nowhere for you to do that. This is the bench. Each rep is checked against the knot's own inspection list, the same one the diagnosis screen uses, so a mistake here is named with the consequence it actually has.
Everything below is self-reported and lives in this browser. It says you can build the structure. It says nothing about how the knot behaves under load with a fish on it, and this page will not let those two be confused.
What the trip asks for, and where you stand on it
Pick the trip you are about to take. This runs the same check the decide screen runs and takes the connections it ranks. The bench supplies the other half — whether you have tied them, and when.
Nothing on the bench for any of these. That is not a mark against you — it is the list of what this trip asks you to be able to tie, which is more use than a list of what you already can.

30 days and 90 days are reminder marks, set either side of the gap a normal season puts between trips. Nothing here timed you, tested you or watched you tie anything. It counts days since your last clean rep and tells you the number.
Nothing on the bench yet. Open any knot's tying page and log a rep at the bottom — it takes about eight seconds, which is deliberate, because you will be doing it with cold hands.
