How about you just make a locked brummel. It will add some strength.

Say you use 12 inchs of burry, plus 8 inches for both locked brummels, that's 40 inches (20 per side) added on to the length of you minimum hang distance.. Now 9 times out of 10, you have a multitude of options to hang from in the woods, but what if, just what if you find a sweet spot, lets say on the edge of a beach. There are two trees, only two trees, you start to set up?? and, too close, if only you could shorten your suspension by a foot....
No I meant just finish your fixed eye in your second set of pictures with a locked brummel instead of burying it as pictured in your second picture.
I've made whoopies and continuous loops with shorter than recommended buries with not issues so far. Not to say it couldn't happen but like you I wanted to shorten the minimum lengths of my suspension.

Isnt that what I Did? Forgive me but im not following. In my second set of pics I did indeed make a lock Brummel type lock then buried it.
In the second picture, it looks like the short length has gone through the longer length with the fid inside the longer length to bury the shorter length. What I meant to say was after you pulled the shorter length through the longer length, instead of burying it you pull the longer length through the shorter length and then bury it. I'm sorry if that sounds confusing.

You made a plain brummel, not a locked brummel.
Thanks. You have a way of simplifying what I'm trying to say.

No clear as day. Thank you... That's the missing link to my equation..
I see you already understand Bubba's post, but since I sketched it, I'll post it.

Of course this leaves out your "extra" loop and is just intended to show the lock in a locked brummel.
Lol after all I said and done, Did I re-invent the wheel? or just ad one more step to making more complicated locked Brummel?I see you already understand Bubba's post, but since I sketched it, I'll post it.
