How big/heavy do you go rigging with this sling?
What did you figure for the slings swl?

Looks interesting, I would think pressure should hold it all in place. I took 3 and then just braided the tails, never did try it out. I was just bored and actually needed the rings for something else. You do have to love the cost of small tenex, try it, look at it, take or cut apart, throw away 5 bucks worth of cord.
I'm in Ontario, Canada I wish cord was that cheap, easy and quick to get

How much of the load is that stable braid seeing. Seems like never more than half, if that. The other ring holds the load, the 2nd seems auxiliary, mainly serving for better bend radius.
Right?
Right?

pretty sure ive seen david mention on the XRR thread to steer clear of amsteel because of the potential heat build up.
I agree with CutHigh as David mentioned on the lengthy X-Rigging Ring thread that Amsteel, although very strong, is not a good choice due to low resistance to heat. I believe somewhere he mentions the temperature reading of some rings after sitting in a vehicle as well as the temperature for degradation of Amsteel. I have used primarily Tenex as it easy to splice and allows you to create slings that are adjustable.
Levi, what if you just do a mega long back splice? Just run a bitter end right into itself and down the entire length until the exit. Pin the back splice and then tug out what you need for the splice and then pull it back into the main leg.
...this is hard to explain.

I agree its not the optimal setup ,but unless your rigging aggressively with heavy loads ( and by agressively I mean fast as hell one after another after another like sling set for rope return clip biner cut like damn machines ) with heavy ass loads did I say that already
that amsteel sling should be fine . Its only for light to med duty if anything. Right? 1/2 inch sling right Levi, its good to know the limitations and if you do just don't go near them. I love the idea of that sling .

I see now . Still like the double ring sling idea! Keep it going man. You'll dial it in.
Yup. A single length that would be 2x the finished sling length, plus whatever is needed to finish both eyes.

Just like the Oceans tether only a smidge bigger right?
That is RAD! So rad. Very nice work, Levi!
You made it man! Could call it the Levi X-Ring Sling, or the Rockett Sling.
So, what it the tail eye was big enough to add one more configuration to the game...a girthed double ring. It would not be adjustable, nor retrievable, but still an option none the less. Add an adjustable X-Ring prusik to that and watch out!

Throw a ring in the other end (back splice end) and you have a triple ring that could be retrievable and incredibly strong. And much less complicated to create then David's triple (nothing against that particular device). It's just evolution.
Most likely stronger as well.
