    "Have a preformed knot in it, huff, huff, a slip loop, huff, huff, so that we can put it, huff, huff, on real quick. Wheeze, I always put it so that you have the least tension on the loop itself. You wrap around the tree and have the loop here. gASP.

    What about those that DON'T have a "pre-tied knot" (that looks suspiciously like a sloppy eye splice)? It would be MUCH better if he actually taught a "running bowline"!
