Proper Knots for Pull Tape

While doing some research for our upcomming video on how to tie a knot in pull tape, I came across this graphical demonstration from A-D Technologies showing the proper way to splice two lengths of pull tape together as well as the proper method for tying off pull tape to a swivel.

It's important to use proper knots with your pull tape so you maintain the pulling strength of your tape.  Use this graphic as a reference and stay tuned for a video demonstration of how to use both of these techniques in the field!
