How to Re-tie a Locking Brummel Loop at the end of your winch-line WITHOUT unspooling your winch!!

[@mikeakamiky7245]

that was actually awesome to watch and very interesting as well great product 👍🏻👍🏻

[@YankumRopes]

Thanks 👍

[@waredneck1977]

From a guy that travels Montana's back country roads and park service roads 90% of time alone, and having to rely on self recovery methods to get myself out, up, or through whatever obstacles come across and all 4 seasons(winter ain't a joke), this whole video and product is a MUST HAVE. No more metal hooks, metal wire, or shackles to flinch when I hear a "crack" or "pop". I have my winch set up to use front or back of my truck and have enough recover gear to get myself or anyone else out of dang near anything safely and smartly. Switching to your rope and lock loop is a no brainer but also game changing. THANK YOU AGAIN. ~Dutch in Kalispell, MT

Does Yankum sell the tool to retie the winch rope? If not, can you refer somewhere I could obtain the tool, please. Thanks, Alan.

[@orestwitiw213]

Well I actually finally tried to tie 2 locking Brummel loops on a 90’ Synthetic winch rope. I turned the volume off so I could concentrate on the video. Spoken word would have been my choice for background to the video. It worked I shut the music off and went at it and succeeded in tying 2 nice locking Brummel loops! I think I should have used my iPad instead of the tiny screen on my iPhone🤣 The steps were easy to follow and I paused the video often. I’ll save the video less the music😆

[@gregntammie]

Thanks for the video!! Could you add a nylon sleeve to loop to help prevent fraying? I noticed you winch rope loop is dipped.

[@jamesbrooks1388]

I would like to see MORR, Fab Rats, and Trail Mater try out recovery and trail rides in BSF's area. BSF did awesome tackling new challenges in Utah. Let's see how they, the Yankum Ropes, and their recovery styles do in BSF's backyard! It would be great to see the abilities of their recovery rigs out of their element and how well they can navigate the obstacles they are unfamiliar with. It would be a great event for you to sponsor and get a new market since they all use your ropes. Put up a tent at the event and they can park there when they are not recovering or trail riding. I am sure Eric can help get you set up with the big event management. Everyone may learn something new and it would be great content with your ropes on four KZbin channels.

Tap some threads into the needle. Then you can twist the rope into the needle. I;ve been doing this for years, never failed. And no tape necessary.

Way old post, but I use a fidd that has a hook in it. Even easier. I can't remember the brand, I've owned the set probably 15 years

[@mathowie]

I finished doing my rope today and it worked great. I got the yankum fairlead months ago but was afraid to try doing this myself. • The first time I went through it I put one knot in upside down, I had to keep repositioning the rope EXACTLY as it looks on the video to get it all right (a few times you flip it upside down and around without mentioning it) • I was surprised how easy my Warn winch rope was to cut with normal house scissors, I thought it would be way tougher • I had some much shorter FID needles but they still worked great • Overall, it took about 30min which includes having to redo it twice before I got it all right • Last month I went to Moab and a friend saw my winch hook clipped to my bumper and said it was in a bad place and on Fins and Things a steep descent smashed the hook a bit, now with it behind the fairlead my rope will be safe from future bashing About the only thing that isn't much better than how it was before is that putting the winch into "neutral" it's kinda hard to pull the rope out, as grabbing a big hook was way easier before, now I kind of have to spin the spool with my fingers to get some slack on the loop to get it off the side of the fairlead. But otherwise, this is WAY safer with no metal, will protect my rope much better than before, and looks amazing and cleaner now, especially with a flip-down license plate (my state requires them and I've been hassled near trailheads by cops)

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

Could I use the Harbor Freight synthetic winch rope and tie this knot?

[@alexbouchard3880]

Yes

[@pcarp100]

Not as strong as the conventional three tucks & a taper but it’s more fun to splice it this way.

[@raypierce5818]

Selma fids are SO much easier with 12 strand hollow braids. I typically invert that loop before passing the eye through. Much easier. Make loop 1, then loop 2. Loosen the line at 2 then invert it. Pass a regular fid through it half way. Take a 6” piece of baling wire and fold it in half making a 3” piece. Pass one end through Loop 1 trapping it in the middle of the wire. Place the two ends of the wire into the fid and push it through, then pull the wires to pass the loop through the inversion. Revert the inversion and slide together. ALWAYS taper the bury with at least 6 strands. I typically taper 10. BTW, your tail should be 3 1/2 Fid lengths to maintain the rated strength which should be 90% - 100% of the original rating.

[@basquo2]

Awesome video! I am too impatient though, I will never take the time to do this. Greetings from twin

[@fredio54]

Why only 4 strands out of 12, and why not more linear taper by cutting strands at more different lengths? 8 strands at the tail end is still a large step and significant weak point.

[@jeremiehumbert583]

[@DariusFLX]

@@YankumRopes For those that don't speak English, the current video does not provide verbal instruction anyway. I think the request is just to add English to it instead of the music. That will help the English speakers, and the non-English speakers won't lose anything.

[@drobs7279]

My question is why do you I need your $200 Fairlead using that Brummel knot? Couldn't I just use a $5 velcro strap to tie the winch line back onto itself or affix to the fairlead that came with my winch?

[@joshuakazfields4374]

Sorry what size fid are you using.

[@YankumRopes]

A 3/8” fid (or 3/8” socket extension and electrical tape) will work best for a 3/8” winch-line. It will also “work” with a 5/16 with difficultly. It will work easily with a 7/16” winch-line.

Sent here by Casey The finished knot looks great. Wouldn't a simpler ( simpler for me anyway ) Bowline Knot work? I have stalled a double line 9k winch with a bowline knot loop any thoughts. I will upgrade to your products as my existing stuff wears out.

[@fastandfun20043]

A knot weakens the rope by up to half compared to a splice

[@kourgath]

There is plenty of evidence that for this type of rope you weaken it significantly by using a knot. The taper is also very important. You can look up various tests with different brand names such as Amsteel, Samson, Dyneema and Spectra. Hope this helps.

[@Dave-fp9jh]

I am sure the knot does weaken it some, but most pulls are nowhere near the breaking strength of the rope. A proper knot is a quick field fix.

[@campbellmarty36]

Try this while Drunk!!!☝️🥃🤣🤣🤣

[@MidnightMaker]

NO!!! Because you have access to the other end of the tow line, you don't need to tuck the eye, you can tuck the short end and then tuck the long end. The standard Brummel lock is for when you're splicing only one free end. This shows a complete misunderstanding of the locking mechanism when you're doing bench work. I have made thousands of Brummel locks, including the flag halyard on the Seattle Space Needle.

[@YankumRopes]

NO!!! Because this is a demonstration on how to do this if your winch-line is already on the drum of your winch and you don’t want to spend the extra time unspooling and re spooling your winch-line adding an additional 10 min to this process. Yes I’m demonstrating this on a bench, this video is for people that just got our fairlead and already have a synthetic winch-line on their winch.

[@1sailfast]

Poor example- weak splice. The bury needs to be 72x the diameter of the line, and the end of the buried line needs to be tapered.

[@onebadassacrobat]

you should be tapering the tail once it's been passed through the core of the line. that sudden change in dia. will be your breaking point and will be your weakest area of the line now. you probably lost more than 50% of the integrity of the rope.

[@fryloc359]

Not the way I learned to do it. I don't remember exactly, but it involved inverting both "eyes", then pulling one through the other.

For all of the extra flipping of eyes inside out and right side out, it would almost be as easy to unspool the whole winch to access the other end of the rope and just do the standard locked brummel. Even with 100 or 150' of line. That is just my $0.02 worth.
