Oh yeah good idea. I could just do one f those either end and have the buries meet up. I’ll maybe get a bit of 16 mm rex and whip something up with that. I am quite fond of the termination knots though, I can keep the sling short-ish without any need for spliced and whipping.
Looking to make a ring and ring sling setup with some 12mm tenex (May stick some 15.9 tenex in for heavier stuff) and two large rings. I can’t splice both rings in because I don’t know how to do a weaved Brummell yet, only regular locked Brummell. So I’ve just tied them on with buntline hitches...
Thanks for the help everyone, decided to add a ring onto my bridge and use a petzl william so I am fit the bulky fisherman knot, pulley and wrench all on the top. The swivel and ring are a bit annoying when they ring but who cares
Just had a eureka moment, does anyone know where to get those biners where the gate opens the other way round, this way I’d be able to keep the smaller swivel and use an hms style biner!
Good info, I had a look at a couple different biners too, William was the best for me because of the strength and size of the top portion it has. The problem I’m facing is I can’t use any of these as long as I’m using the BOTTOM section of the carabiner as this is th part which passes through...
This is the way I have it with 8mm but my personal favourite is 10mm beeline. I’d either swap my swivel for a bridge ring and use a bigger biner, or keep the swivel and carry on using an oval with a shackle but I can’t choose which. Trying to gather all the advantages and disadvantages of each

I use a wrench a lot on a swivel and rock O.
Whenever I want to use 10mm cord with double fisherman’s the carabiner gets a bit full. This will normaly create two different hazards: eye of hitch falling down the spine of Biner, and the opposite eye rubbing the barrel of the biner.
The problem...
I was going to use my spare large x ring on a 1/2 inch t-rex prusik loop or klemheist set onto the bury of the locked Brummell. People pair x rings like this on the double headed beast slings. This way I can always take the prusik ring off and use it for other applications ( redirects, fairlead...
Yeah pretty much, just bottom out the whoopie and then I can only throw it over a branch, the prusik idea looks good though. Should I use T. rex or a double braid? Which could work better as a prusik I’m thinking double braid
That’s sounds like a good idea, I could get 1/2 rigging rope and make a sliding fisherman’s, tie a prusik and then I’d have two rings with and still have adjustability of the whoopie. Tats a great idea you’ve came up with there
Basically what I’ve made is a whoopie with a beast captured in the non adjustable eye. That’s what I’ll use most of the time but if i need a better radius for say some heavy rigging with bigger rope; I can just take my spare ring and close the whoopie in on it to make a ring and ring friction...
I got about 6m. Made a whoopie and I’ve got a spare large ring I can use to choke up on with the whoopie to make a rig and ring :)) works great thanks for the reply, was just unsure about the bend radius on out 14mm rigging rope
I have a beast ring and some 3/4 t-rex. The question is: can I splice JUST the beast on to the hard end of a whoopie or would the bend radius be too sharp for a 14mm rope that we use.
Thanks in advance
