Tutorial: Turning a Whoopie into a UCR

Here's a quick easy way to turn your whoopie slings into a pair of utility constrictor ropes.


Here's a whoopie sling, spliced to a strap, with a whoopie hook.



Pull enough out to tie a knot...



...and cut



... pull it out



...cut off the tail



DON'T FORGET TO TAPER!



I've read others having trouble cutting amsteel, I just hold the strands with my thumb, and pull down on the other side. Works great...



re-splice your hook (if your only using a fixed eye, you can skip the step of pulling out the splice, you can make a fixed eye with one end of the cord, not so easy with hardware though...)



pull the end back through the constrictor....



re-backsplice the tail



Start the safety knot...



...finish the safety knot



backsplice the end (ok I guess now you've finished the knot)



Here's your finished UCR



all wrapped up
