How to tie two ropes together (with a Fisherman's Knot)

As a kayaking instructor I created this series of videos on knots to introduce members of our club Sligo Kayak Club (Sligo, Ireland), and any anyone else who may be interested, to rope work.

This short video will demonstrate how to tie the single and double fisherman's knot.  
The single fisherman's knot basically consists of an overhand knot tied onto each opposing line while the double fisherman's knot consists of a double overhand knot (strangle knot) tied onto each opposing line. This exact same technique can be extended to create a triple (or even quadruple) fisherman's knot if required.
This knot can bind up so tight that it can be difficult to untie however it is a damn secure way of joining two ropes and is a must-know knot!

Any gauge of rope or cord will be sufficient for training purposes but it's best to use at least 2' (60cm) of length. 

Feedback, comments, questions are all welcomed.
Please excuse the quality of this one-take, recording!
