DIY Nacrabiners.

Hey all,

Just wanted to share the results of my DIY nacrabiner project. As allways pictures or it didn't happen!

Think they cane out pretty good.

Here is a picture of an open 'biner:


This is the top section (loop to capture the knot), I buried the rest of the line up to the knot for looks:


This is the lanyard(Diamond) knot I used:


This is the whole Nacrabiner closed:


Well now that its posted I feel better.

Look'n good. Just curious, what will you use them on. (I know what they are and how they work etc. etc., I just wonder specifically what you'll use them for, what reg. biner will it replace.) Again, nice work.

very nice, cant wait to see if they actually hold up

remember I know who made them

[dant8ro]

Not too sure yet. I'm not quite ready to hang off em'. I might do so eventually, but I don't trust em yet. I did manage to pick my whole body weight up using them, so for now I'll be hanging gear, but in the future who knows.

I was thinking of doing some smaller Zing it ones, and making prusics for my tarp lines (like Opie does).

Gear to ridgeline, no weight...Excellent

what kind of a knot is that on the end? I'm lookin to get rid of my carabiners from my whoopies to my tree straps

Great job on those. UncleMJM gave me one a few weeks back. I'm going to use it to secure the foot end of my AHE XL New River UQ up over my WBBB ridgeline.

Its a lanyard knot, otherwise known as a diamond knot.

You can hang from them. I trust both amsteel and dynaglide nacrabiners for this.

Thanks WV, good to know. I may have to try this out in the basement. But I think I'm still going to put the couch cushions under me.

P.S. Anyone brave enough to substitute the Chainlinks on their hammock ends with extralarge Nacrabiners?
