    Attaching a snap shackle to a spliced eye

    It appears the fibers are coated while being formed into strands, they stick together when trying to separate the strands. There is very little twist in the strands, the NER is 3mm, the Ocean is a little bigger, closer to a 4 mm.

    Propping a tree?

    Maybe install a rope from the top to the bottom, like stringing a bow?

    Attaching a snap shackle to a spliced eye

    New England Ropes and Robline’s make a version of 3mm dyneema with a break strength of a little over 5000 lbs. that could be inserted in the end of the the rope, with a separate eye cover, or using the double braid’s. I tried it once with RING, shown above, but removed it and did a double braid...

    Blue 32!

    The splice seems to be similar to the discontinued Slaice, but maybe relies on a longer bury of the dyneema, instead of the stitches.

    I attach it to the rope, weight, or pull down on the rope, and then release it, most ropes it slides down by itself.

    Hey guys Czech this out

    Just the very few who weren’t on their phones. I would have cut them off if using a chain saw, you showed a lot of skill.

    Hey guys Czech this out

    Hand saw on that small stuff would be easier and quicker.

    It was sluggish on a 10mm Mammut semi-static, it has a somewhat bumpy cover, and not real firm. KM III max was much better, firm, with a smooth cover. It doesn’t want to slide on Technora, even on a 6mm.

    Yes, that’s a 3mm core in a Hollowblock2 loop I cut the stitched section off, makes for a nice thick cover. The overlapping tapers were started about an inch from the eyes, with each tapered bury ending at the one inch mark to keep the “core” a consistent diameter. This method would break at...

    Another option is to just use the cover, full length bury between the eyes with gradual tapers

    Most parallel strand splices would make long, stiff legs. Could take strands out and replace with a dyneema, or Vectran hollow braid core, Samson’s Tuck Bury splice makes it easy to do covered eye hitch cords. Can also use a stopper knot in back, gives shortest legs, and acts as a tender. Black...

    Fid Size vs Rope Size

    The cover and core are probably 50/50 of the diameter, a 5/16”, or 8mm tubular fid should work, use the smallest one possible as long as the core or cover, separately, can be stuffed inside the fid.

    Show off them splices

    The creamy yellow cord is Sterling’s 6.8mm RIT 900, a single braid that flattens to be more like webbing. I’ve used locked brummels before, but the Kevlar-like, Twaron has a dubious past when used as a hitch cord. Adding a 3mm dyneema core turns it into the cover instead, still works very...

    Show off them splices

    I tried to stiffen some cord up enough, but at the time wasn’t successful, put some cover on a non welded steel d ring instead. Recently came up with a way by bringing the ends inside itself to the middle, add as many twisted strands as possible, and sew the ends together.

    Looks like Icetail.

    Yes, it arrived a few days ago. It works great for what it is intended for, follows the climber, grabs reliably, and can descend at any time. The clamping action, instead of a cam, allows brake hand free descending. I don’t see it being used in tree work, you would set a fixed line as usual...

    First you want to change the name of the hitch I came up with, and now you want to give the name of my hitch to another???

    TomatoTomahto- I read this as what Richard wants Richard takes. Your second paragragh is sweet, but actually just a not too subtle attempt to use the role reversal tactic of making your self look like the good guy. You have brought this on by yourself.

    The video of Jesse tying the hitch is the Arbsession, not the Knut H, so which looks more like the Knut H, from the drawings above, the Knut, or the Arbsession?
