Opie, was wondering how these were going to do for you. 2 nights without falling on your backsides

makes them good to go for me. Another item to add to your web store...

Looks real good, opie. I like the nice flat 'shoulder' that knot gets.

Thanks Frawg.

Opie did the pink slip just a little, or was the loop a little larger than the black to start with?

jeff, the bury isnt milked down all the way. Thats why the loop is open like it is. I wanted to see if the knot had slipped past the point of the end of the bury so I tried to see if I could pull it out and just didnt milk the bury all the way back down.

Opie- What did you use for an overall length of amsteel? How long is the bury?

By the way, love the straps and amsteel. Thanks for the advice.

Also.....Has anyone made this style of nacrabiner with zing-it. Would be used for non-load bearing applictions (tarps etc)? Any thoughts?

**Redoleary** · 09-26-2010, 07:23

Yeah, there's an app for that.

The only one I've made, I made with zing it, and it works as advertised, I would highly recommend them for your non-load bearing apps.

TT, both of your answers can found in the forum.
Yes, zing it works for nacrabiners. Opie has a tutorial on them. He uses them on some of the continous ridglelines that Whoopies dot com has for sale. They work as a sliding prussik and the nacra option allows you to "clip" on your tarp, so to speak.

Once you follow his tutorial, you can play with the dimensions/math and make the N-biners any size. I've built some longer loops and they work the same.
