e-z biner? will it work

**mbs** · 06-17-2013, 05:23

I had a small section of amsteel left after making my whoopies and srl and a couple of soft biners. I was tinkering with it, just messing around. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Anybody?

I hope that worked. Basically tied a square knot in the two tag ends and larks head around it.

It will work, but it will be hard to undo imo, especially after it's been loaded.

Quick and durty...I like it.

I think it'll be a little tough to undo if it holds up a decent size load. For abou tThe same length of amsteel, I try to make the soft shackle. http://l-36.com/soft_shackle_9.php

+1, same concept as a soft shackle/nacrabiner, but harder to use once loaded.

Here's a quick how to. They're really easy to make, and once you do a lanyard knot a few times it's cake.

Yeah I had just built 2 soft shackles before I played with this. I didn't load it. I might try this evening and see what happens.

I slung my hammock when I got home held up by the ez biner. It came right undone without any fuss. I was surprised, but it worked fine. I will try it agaim on a more extended hang.

Nice work try & get it wet with a load as well. If it comes loose after that I would say you are good to go.
