I tie the blood knot...in the field too...Would Not reccommend a tool for this knot as it is one more thing to carry. And if get too used to it, when you need a blood knot and cant find the tool, your up the creek without a paddle. To learn it, I just spent three hours tying the knot in front of the television for three nights. When I got board I practiced the other fundamental Fly Fishing knots towards the end of thoses sessions. After 6 or 7 days of learning the other knots, I have not had any issues or hessitations since and it is a definite confidence/pride thing for me.
