ultrasling instruction

Ughhhh, I remember seeing on here somewhere a double ring ultrasling. I've looked and can't find it anywhere. If anyone remembers who posted that can you please send it my way.

Thanks

The boomsling! Is this the one?
 
Nope, although if I ever get my head wrapped around it that might be a better option. I guess you could make this into an ultrasling by keeping both tails long, do the brummels and start the pockets.

What I was thinking of had two individually terminated rings. I believe he used two lengths of rope, almost like two dead eyes spliced together.
 
so I see three brummels on each segment, to do the tree stuff style working out, are you guys starting with the rope folded in half and then alternating ends you are putting through?
 
Here's a nutty question; has anyone tried making an ultra sling type deal with a class 2 double braid? I have a length of endurabraid, it has an amsteel core. I was thinking of trying to form an eye in the middle by folding in half then pulling the core at the crossover doing a set of brummells then running the core back into the cover. Move down a set length and repeat. The hopefull result is a chain of brummeled eyes with intact cover. Sound dumb? Should I just buy a snake anchor?

It is neater, stronger, quicker to make, and requires less material. The first eye is usually essentially non functional yes, but it is quicker to make. Ultra Slings are already one of the slowest products to make so we always try and find ways to make it quicker and simpler.

There is a lot going on in an Unltra, and everything needs to be balanced correctly for optimal strength.

I had a thought just now while splicing an ultra in the fashion that you guys do it.

Why not make the first loop longer so that you save the trouble of the first brummel and only have potentially useful loops?
This thing is taking forever, even though I skipped the useless loop.

You can also make a regular first (main) eye, two or three brummels, and then straight bury in the useless area. Pop it back out and continue with the ultrasling.

I just cant picture that. Sounds interesting though!

That sounds cool. I see what you are saying!

Sure yo could do that.

That one I made is all locking brummels and one piece of tenex. Haven't tried the boomsling instructions but it looks interesting.
If I were to do it again I would use two pieces of cordage.
 
My idea was to have it terminate with a pocket as opposed to a tail so the full length would be usable. Start with a pocket at the tail, working my way up to the rings, leaving some room between the last pocket and the rings so the last pocket would be functional, then breaking down the braid to perform the locking brummels. It's the only way it seems possible to my simple mind.
