    Beeline Splice Instructions

    I see Samson has updated their instructions for this splice, as well as others. The old version stopped at Step 5, I inserted the pairs through the center staggered, and just cut off. I also see they have changed the end of the tapered tail from a fine point to leaving 3 strands.

    Splicing Two Pieces of Ultrex Together?

    The straight bury would be the smoothest choice, on locked brummels, the second tail would need the rebraid method, which causes a 40% decrease in strength.

    Beeline Splice Instructions

    This one, https://www.samsonrope.com/docs/default-source/splice-instructions/12strand_c2_tuck_bury_eye_splice_hmpe_web.pdf?sfvrsn=c0f746b0_2 Beelines cover is also loose enough that the cover tail can be buried, rather than whipped to the side.

    Beeline Splice Instructions

    Samson’s Tuck Bury is the best one for double eye hitch cords, it keeps almost all of its strength, and covered eyes are easy to do. With locked brummels, you have to do a naked eye splice, which loses about 25%, with a fid and a half bury. If you want covered eyes with the brummels the second...

    SRS rope and hitch

    I tried the Wrench, HH, Sticht combo before, didn’t see any great improvement. The Sticht helps when paired with just the Wrench, it releases easily before the Wrench rotates and engages with the rope.

    SRS rope and hitch

    The climber’s weight makes the hitch grab and it is also trying to force it downward at the same time.

    SRS rope and hitch

    Splicing a 3mm dyneema cord with a 6.8mm RIT cover grabs remarkably well, can usually drop a wrap, and works on a host “rope” of 6mm. Cutting apart a HollowBlock 2 works just as well, although more expensive, they are about 8mm on 9.5mm Max.

    On call emergency response for Municipality's

    Most counties in Michigan have their own road commissions, separate from any DPWs. Ours had the forestry dept personnel called first, depending on overtime hours, if not enough, then went to the general maintance people, which got a yearly refresher course.

    Show off them splices

    I picked it up right away, an early masterpiece using UltraTech and Samson’s instructions on the left. The black one’s twisted core strands were removed and and a small dyneema braided one put in. I figure out which size, when doubled in diameter, will slide into the cover, with little...

    When past clients hire someone else…

    Maybe a relative, or friend has some type of connection to the other company?

    Finally sent the improved version in for testing and got better results with burying the cover, just a loss of 11% of the break strength, and still low profile. Also trying different methods to get more flexible double eye friction hitch cords.

    Beeline for tether

    It’s still called Tech Cord, now the maker is stated as Teufelberger, which owns NER. It is now rated at 4800#, the stiffness can be tamed by cutting some core out to leave some slack in the cover.

    Beeline for tether

    In the saddlehunter world, a tether is another name for a lanyard that is choked on the tree. If the lanyard is used attached to each side it is called a linesmen’s rope, or belt. Beeline, or other hitch cord would work, might be more expensive though.
