Carby,
What could you tie with a 20" chunk of prussic cord ? Do you have any idea how clueless that statement was ? I guess not. That is why everybody gives you so much crap here.

Ok, ok, ok.
Peeps need to practice what ya preach. Don't blast someone, then report on them when they respond in way you don't like. Enough with the foul language. I see it has mainly, one source. To the Jedi, lay off on the bashing of the un/ill-informed..........please. If they want to continue to act the way they do, when given advice (although it may be a little gruff at times) then they will be dealt with accordingly. Its hard for me to infract one person when several are mixing the pot. Tho some throw alot more in than others. Those who are asking, get some thicker skin, if you cant take someone just giving you a hard time, then leave, don't respond by calling them names and mucking up the thread. High road fella's, high road. I am putting this out here in the open, so all can see, instead of PM's. Hoping that this will settle things down before beatings are handed out as the older/experienced mods may see this thread and the reports and drop the hammer, so chill!

I respect your ruling greans but in my defense there is a big difference between what was being said to him and his responses. If he wanted to go back and forth with simple name calling thats one thing but he goes overboard with the language. The worse thing that was said to him was that he was clueless. Which in this instance he was. This is the same type crap that was causing so many problems up top. Someone making factless statements then going overboard with their replies when he was called on it. A little harmless name calling is one thing and I am all for it. Carb dude has become the same cancer in the 101 forum for the same reasons as the others in Commercial and causing the same problems. Review his history or replies and responses. This goes beyond this thread its his M.O.
With that said, as stated I respect your advice and will just not reply to his bs posts anymore.

@ SOM.
Word, that is the best thing to do. Some guys dont really want help, they just want someone to tell them that they are right, no matter how wrong it is. If u see something posted that is unsafe, stop it, by all means call it out. But when guys just run their mouths to make themsleves sound like they know what they are doing...........just let them run. We all know who's who's around here. When they cant take a little ribbing..........well,it speaks volumes of their character and legitamcey:msp_rolleyes:.
When they refuse to answer a honest, legitimate question from the Jedi, then they must be Sith

Work on learning to tie a good double- or triple-overhand knot to a carabiner. (some folks call them a "fisherman's knot, but that is not really accurate) It is just as reliable as a splice, and takes only a minute.
This knot is almost impossible to untie after loading, but can be easily undone by sliding it off a carabiner; then it almost falls apart. This is my preference for hanging on a carabiner, since the tail of the knot points up, parallel to the rest of the rope. Less clutter.

I bought a box of different sized srink rap from harbor frieght and it goes up ti 1/2" and it worked good on the ends of my climbing line, just put it on and srank it with a lighter, not sure how it would work for the slippiery high heat stuff, Thought about the tool handle dip stuff good to know,

yeah i think ill just stick with a double fisherman's not and leave it tied like you suggested pdqdl. Was just curious if there was a better way to do it, so i could get it out of the back of my mind.
Give me a couple of days, and I'll take a picture of my splices set side by side with the DON (Double Overhand Noose).
I was initially doing the e2e with just DON on two carabiners, but I found that it was rather crowded with all the knots and carabiners, 2 ropes, and a micropulley. It is so much sleeker with just the splices.
By the way, these are beat up dirty ropes, and they weren't that pretty when they were new. Don't compare my stuff to Gillie's.
