What happens here
To further secure the Blake's Hitch, Keith demonstrates tying a 'Figure 8' stopper knot at the tail end of the rope. This knot prevents the Blake's Hitch from backing out or running, ensuring complete safety. He then performs a test, pulling on the rope to confirm the knot's security and that it holds his weight.
Goal: Prevent the Blake's Hitch from loosening by adding a stopper knot.
