Very easy to follow

Thanks

ive replaced the prusik on my zing-it ridgeline with nama claws by nama gear. very functional and make clipping in faster.

[@outthedooradventure]

They look very secure! It'll probably last years, but I just don't like the idea of any of the metal claw type clips on the ridge line. I'd be laying there in my hammock thinking of it chaffing!

You’d get a nicer taper if, instead of cutting the four strands even (going from 8 to 4) you’d cut the four strands along the taper (8>6>4>2). Very nicely presented. Thank you.

[@outthedooradventure]

Yeah, that's absolutely true, but takes a bit longer and is barely noticeable with relatively small diameter cord. I also sail (am an experienced yachtmaster); when using much larger diameter ropes (often doublebraid) would absolutely do more to smooth the taper. But for me personally, I don't see much value in doing so with the small stuff I use with my hammock/tarp. If you want the ultimate taper though go for it!

Great instructional video, thanks. Have a splicing kit on order, how about a whoopie sling and adjustable ridge line how to`s?

[@outthedooradventure]

Thanks. Will be putting videos on those subjects up in about a month, great suggestions!

Hello, Thanks for the video. So basically the line does a 180 degree bend and goes back into it's body... Do you know of any strength tests for loops made this way?

[@outthedooradventure]

Yeah that's right, basically pass it through itself, bend back 180 degrees and bury the end back inside. The strengths I listed in the video were from the manufacturer's (Samson Ropes) website, I confirmed with them by email that the spliced strengths they listed are applicable to Brummel Spliced cordage.

​@@outthedooradventure Thank you very much, maybe my Google-Fu is weak but finding strength tests for this splice is difficult. The other way has a higher break test but then you have to sew...and your method is still about 140% of the best knot test I could find. I was afraid of the re-braid method but when I actually sat though the only re-braid video I could find, it isn't as hard as I thought, but re-braiding is probably easier with larger line kzbin.info/www/bejne/b16XcoyMbM9-iKM

In my mind there is no way you are bending the line 180° and still retain 90% of the lines strength ,its gotta be lower. Considering also trying the re-braid method. ​@@NulodPBall
