If you've not tied this one before, step 7 is confusing the way it is
presented here (at least, it confused me).

Comment...

Being somewhat "knot dyslexic" or at least "challenged", the instructions
and diagrams on anything beyond a basic knot tend to throw me. I looked at
Fig 7 and Fig 8 and just wondered how to get there from here - a Fig 7a
after dealing with the right loop would have really helped. But with T.W.'s
additional explanation, I decided to give it a try. It still took awhile to
get from "7a", but eventually it popped into place.

Then the trick was to do it again....

Now, Jason's suggestion (at least, I think it was his) about reversing the
ring that holds the Nalgene cap is more my speed. I could handle that. And
now wonder why I did not think of it myself years ago? Thanks for sharing
it.
