Creepy loopie

[KevinS]

I've got a loopie sling that I love to use in the crown but it creeps so I have to fold the tail back and cow or timber hitch the slack. This can some times take the handiness out of it.
Anyone else have this problem or a solution?

Is the bite of the choke made with the splice itself? If so, something is wrong with the splice/rope.

Not every time

My apologies it has fixed hardware in the end so I guess its actually a whoopie

Tried to change the title but don't thinks I can

 

[Lumberjack]

Did you splice it yourself? A whoopie shouldn't have any issue holding a load. What material is the sling made from, what is it's diameter, and what is the bury length?

Wait. A whoopie is slipping? It's very easy to make a loopie slip...but a whoopie?

Let's see a pic. There's something going on here.

Something along the lines of too short of a bury or asymmetrical loading favoring the buried side.

 

[KevinS]

I was wondering about the bury length, don't know it off hand but it's 1/2" tenex tec. I should likely look at another 1/4 fid bury I think it had the minimum if I recall

 

[Lumberjack]

Best of my memory, but the bury should be ~28x the rope's diameter (full plus short fid).

 

[NickfromWI]

No way. Something else. I did a ⅜" whoopie with a ¾"-1" bury and it holds a few thousand pounds.

There's something else going on here

What's your 3/8" whoopie made out of?
I have a guy that wants one but I thought anything smaller than 1/2" was kinda low for swl mind you that was tenex numbers

On 1/2" tenex that's a 14" bury. I'll try to measure it today

Does the bury exit on the opposite side of the rope that it enters from?

When in use is the cover fully milked and set?

yes and yes.

sorry I forgot to measure the bury

 

[TylerPienta]

any update?

 

[RajElectric]

+1 on that, we're all waitin'!

 

[KevinS]

Sorry guys it's buried about 13". I've been wrapping the tail to use up the slack and that locks it in place but under moderate weight it still slides if the tail just dangles

 

[RajElectric]

Sounds right, the ones I've made were anywhere from a fid and a half to 2 full fids, IDK about anyone else, a video would be interesting to see, or a series of pics.

I'll see what I can get together

If memory serves me correctly I think you are in the K-W area, if I needed something at Princess auto I'd head up and see it in person!
