This is a video showing how to tie the 5-3 Blake's Hitch on arborist rope. This particular rope is 1/2" New England Safety Blue. Also shown is how to tie the figure 8 on a bight knot that will be used as a connection point to the climbers harness. Lastly, there is a quick segment about attaching a foot loop to the climbing system using a prussic knot.

I don't show how to tie the double fisherman's knot to create a foot loop but a good video tutorial for that is found at:    • How to Tie the Double Fisherman's Knot  

A tutorial for how to tie the triple crown foot loop can be found on New Tribe's website: https://www.newtribe.com/documents/ti...
