Thanks for showing how to dress it. Most knot tieing videos do not do that in such detail, and proper dressing is VERY important. It's priceless for us newbies.

Thank you, my rope access trainer kept telling me to make the knot flat to dress it, I couldn't understand what she meant, this was a great explanation!
