    Soft shackle nacrabiner with fixed eye loop...

    I brought one of my soft shackles in to work today to show a buddy and he thought it was really cool, he couldn't stop messing with it. So I told him I would make him a set. As we sat there talking he said "can you put a loop at this end?" (tail end obviously). I said sure, just have to make sure the tails are long enough to lock them and backsplice. So I made him one of each style, and I kind of liked how the one with the fixed eye came out and got me thinking that it was a neat little accessory loop and could have different uses. Has anyone else ever done this before?

    Henceforth, this shall be known as a soft shackle macrabiner with the Yukon Mod. So let it be written, so let it be done.

    Or perhaps the Yukon shackle for short.
