    Vega Eye Splice

    If it had broken, I would be happy with the results and moved on, but now the bury needs to be longer, or a larger diameter to maybe get better results, more testing needed now. Forgot to post the tight eye picture!

    Vega Eye Splice

    The brummel wouldn’t fit inside the cover on Xstatic, I made the eye a little large to be able to seize it for a tight eye, then put on the shrink tubing. I got my sample back, the bury pulled out, no breaking. The outside of the tail melted slightly, and there is a melted trail where it...

    Vega Eye Splice

    The first stage of the cover bury was a little difficult at first, the core strands would bunch up and needed to be pulled frequently to straighten them back out. Got smart on the last one, held the eye and stepped on the rope below the bury and kept it stretched while easily pulling the fid...

    Vega Eye Splice

    Right, the locked brummel is just above the throat in the bottom of the eye. The two above didn’t have true locking, the strands came out, wrapped around, and were buried. The one I sent in has the strands going through both sides of the cover after wrapping around, and then buried. I do the...

    Vega Eye Splice

    Interesting, the weak link was the reduced core in the eye. Doing the math, your stronger splice retained 57% of the ropes break strength, Marlow’s average is 57.6%, from their website. I’ve been trying to come up with an easier method instead of just the brute force of pulling the bury...

    Thanks, it does seem somewhat vague if one is needed when starting to ascend from the ground.

    Is a tree squeeze required by ansi for any part of tree work?

    How would you climb this without ladder and spikes but only rope & climbing gears SRS method

    Briefly grabbing the string just after the bag has reached the target branch, makes it stop and start to wrap around the branch, releasing the string at the right time can bring the ball back at you. Not an SRT method, but gets you up the tree, fairly quickly, without the branch strength worries.

    Custom Splicing options?

    Probably something with a large eye, 8mm-11mm, and around 9’.

    Show off them splices

    I found from doing the double braid SPlife that core reduction strand cuts should be matched with taper strand cuts to get a consistent core diameter.

    No, I haven’t spliced that one, have been meaning to get some since it first came out. If no bumps or thin areas, probably as strong, percentage wise. I’ve recently come to the conclusion that the best way to splice this type of rope with Marlow’s method, is to tension the core strands at the...

    Should point out that the Switch’s maximum rope diameter is around 9.5mm.

    Sterling Workpro Parallel Hand Splice

    One more splice is the Drenaline Splife from Teufelberger, google search will give you the other two mentioned above.

    Yes, that seems the most popular device for saddle hunters to hand on the side of trees.

    Looking for Trango Cinch

    The Click Up is more robust and cheaper, mine is the original model, there is a newer version. Knot and Rope Supply carries the older version.

    Looking for Trango Cinch

    They grab just as well and releases a little easier than on single rope.

    Looking for Trango Cinch

    A couple other devices are the Click Up and Edelrid Switch, both tend very easily and release under full body weight.
