Forgot to add a bead stopper for your whoopies adjustable loop?

No problems.
Just tie a fishermans knot (i think that's the name for it)

Here's how I do it, blurry pictures and all:

First I identify the part of the adjustable loop that is the start of the bury. Top part in this picture


Then I loop the string like so (I use 2mm string here but 550 paracord or a shoe lace or any piece of string will do just fine)



I losely wrap the string around itself and the whoopie away from the bury. About 3-4 times and thread the tying end into the loop that is formed.


Here I've started tightening the knot by pulling the right hand string


Really tight now, almost "sucking in" the tying end inside the knot


Trim the end


Burn the ends of the trim. Needless t say, don't burn your whoopie


Works perfectly!




You can also tie a paracord bead on there which is much cooler, but I didn't have any paracord... maybe next time

Whenever I've made one and forgotten the bead, I just picked the end of Amsteel until the stopper came undone. Then I pulled it back through the bury, put a bead on, re-buried and remade the stopper. My OCD wouldn't have it any other way.

Great post. New project added to my "to do" list.

Very cool method. Another method is to take a piece of rope (I use mason's line) and open up the whoopee sling right at the point above the bury, and pull the rope through. Then, just tie the rope into a loop using a figure eight bight and wallah, if your whoopee sling pulls through it won't pull past the knot. Also, the little loop give a nice pull to pull it back out. I've never had a bead to use.

I think I get it, but, Photo?

Of course. These photos are with the mason's line already installed. As you can see, the mason's line goes through the amsteel a good inch or so above the bury and is tied into a loop.
