Homemade lanyard

Thank you, I understand now. What is on the end of the lanyard? Just a stopper knot?

yeah I just used a figure 8 knot on the end

how much do you charge to make one but with the triple fishing knot on each end ?

I made this one, and I dont like the prusik as a adjuster knot. Gonna either use a mechanical adjuster or just get rid of it. I got around $100 into this one with materials.

Thank you, I understand now. What is on the end of the lanyard? Just a stopper knot? The end with the VT is always attached and the other end is removed to redirect?

I always climb with my climbing line(monkey line) attached so if I need to unhook my lanyard I use my climbing line to secure my self when I have to unhook my lanyard

2Tree, you doing your own spliceing on those? I have a lot of ideas for rigging gear I would like to make but not the knowlege to do the splicing. A valuable skill

Its really not that hard to splice, sure beats paying $20-$30 for a spliced eye.

Is this acceptable?

Much better IMO. I like to use heat shrink tubing instead of tape for a more pro look but the tape will work OK too.

Not too sure about your termination knots on your snaps...

Triple fisherman's knot is the only knot I will use on termination for life support anymore.

I believe those are bunt-line hitches; they should be very secure. Realistically, this knot is nothing more than a clove hitch noose. It is certainly nothing to worry about. An anchor hitch would be a bit better, but either is considered safe. Both knots do not tail as nicely as the scaffold (fisherman's) hitch.

I generally prefer the scaffold knot too, but not on a snap. You'll never get one of those knots untied after it has been set for a while.

That why the snap or biner gets cut off. No untying!

Appreciate the feedback.

I use the scaffold knot on the end of my climbing line tied off to a biner. It easier to slide the biner out then to untie it, like you would have to do with a clip
