Amsteel Blue Eye Splice for my Beast Stick Rope MOD, I will show you how I did it and determined the size of the eye to get a tight fit.. This MOD is awesome and resulted in my Beast Sticks coming in at 1lb 13.6 oz. Can't beat that.
Rope is from Dutchwaregear link is below if you want to pick some up:

Great step-by-step, Mark! Thanks for sharing.

@VABigRing 3 года назад

This was one of the most well explained tutorials on splicing. I had a little difficulty stuffing the end into an 8mm knitting needle....thinking a 10mm might work a little better,....I might try to flare the cut end of it.

@LuisSanchez-lu4cu 4 года назад

If you leave two inches between the passes then bury as much as you want, you will have a tight eye that will open to go onto the button and self closes when any tension is applied. Works either way..

@MarkDohring 4 года назад

Thank u for that... this was my first time splicing rope, which I found very enjoyable...

Anyone wanting to do this- 9mm knitting needles are at Joann fabric. Might save someone some aggravation-it’s impossible without the right one.....don’t ask how I know

@bucks2beards194 4 года назад

It's easier to use a fid if you taper just before you milk the rope over the bury. Tapering at the beginning makes the ends much more flared

Thanks for the video, very helpful. Where are you getting your amsteel rope? Can the Amteel ATV ropes be used and cut the hook off them?

@MarkDohring 4 года назад

I get my Amsteel from a local boat shop if gray works if I need black I go through dutchweargear.com 1/4”

@arthurcarstens 3 года назад

Hey Mark, really enjoy your videos, very easy to follow, understand. One question: I am a bigger guy, would it be better for my rope mod to be 7/16 Amsteel versus 1/4, would it have more "holding" power? appreciate your help

@MarkDohring 3 года назад

First off hope u had a wonderful Christmas and thanks for watching the video. I think the 1/4” is plenty, it’s minimum break strength is 7,700 lbs and only cost .90 a foot, the 7/16 break strength is 21,500 lbs and cost 2.25 a foot. Ur stick is probably only rated for 300 lbs, so 1/4 should be plenty strong

@arthurcarstens 3 года назад

Appreciate the response Mark, I worded my question wrong, I know the Amsteel is plenty strong, but would 1/4 inch lock in tight enough for a big guy, would a larger diameter rope lock in any tighter? also, do you double cinch the rope on the button?

@MarkDohring 3 года назад

@@arthurcarstens It locks in tight with the beast button, sometimes actually hard to get off.

@arthurcarstens 3 года назад

Hey Mark, appreciate the response. have ordered the 1/4 amsteel from Dutchman, your videos are a great help, thanks again

@radamrussell 3 года назад

Mark - Have you seen any comparisons of 1/4 Dyneema winch rope vs. 1/4 Amsteel for securing climbing sticks? You can't put a price on safety, but I like to save money where it's logical. Just curious. Thanks.

@MrShysterme 4 года назад

Have you done any vids comparing the amsteel rope mode to something like a mini-versastrap mod? If not, any brief thoughts you'd like to share? I'm either going to cut my heliums down or buy beasts, and will either do a rope mode or the mini versa. Thanks.

@MarkDohring 4 года назад

+MrShysterme I like the mini versa.. but sometimes I struggle to get the loop over the button because it just made that loop.. the rope mod I don’t have to worry about that and it doesn’t move ...

@nikolasshay4974 5 лет назад

Nice! Do you have an idea on when you will post the next video? I am planning to do my amsteel rope mod this weekend and was looking for a way to handle the tag end. I kinda thought about just running the bungee cord through the gap in rope and burning the end really good so that it wouldnt fray but your way looks a lot cleaner.

@MarkDohring 5 лет назад

+Nikolas I think I could get it out for u by Friday...

@nikolasshay4974 5 лет назад

@@MarkDohring no rush. Just curious. I kinda have an idea on how to do it just by looking at it and i have Heat shrink at home already too.

@MarkDohring 5 лет назад

+Nikolas Shay I haven’t tried burning before but I heard Amsteel doesn’t burn well ... I may have to try it .. and I should be able to get it out.. I would have done it all together but I have been told that usually a thing over 10 minutes people tune out... lol...

@peterrizzuto1820 3 года назад

When you cut the length of amsteel how do you keep the non looped end from fraying? Bury in into itself?

@MarkDohring 3 года назад

When I first did them I bury'd it into itself and then put the shrink tube on it, that was a lot of work with that short piece. After that I ended up melting the end and putting shrink tube over it and used some small zip ties since that really isn't a lot of pulling on it.

@robertklusty7907 4 года назад

I keep being told 1/4” is too small and won’t cinch and need to use 7/16”. Have you had any problems with them staying on the tree and not slipping

@MarkDohring 4 года назад

Robert thanks for watching and I have never had any issues with them slipping and my sticks are rock solid, they do not move.

@Orr_s 4 года назад

What length do you start with and what length do you end with for each rope? Wondering what a good length is for each stick without having a ton of extra every time

@MarkDohring 4 года назад

I usually order 10' per stick. I go crazy and bury 12" back into the line... They come out about 8'7"....They are long, but I just do it to all so I don't have to worry which stick I grab should i need that long rope at the base of the tree. The elastic rope at the end helps secure the loose end once they are set.

@Orr_s 4 года назад

Mark Dohring yeah i was aiming to make mine 9’ finished if possible, thanks!

What size knitting needle did you use and how long did your rope end up being Ty

@MarkDohring 4 года назад

Jesse , Good morning .. the knitting needle in this video I believe was a 9mm .. I cut it at a 45 degree angle and it’s now 9” long... my next smallest needle is 6.5mm cut st a 45 degree angle and it’s 10” long. My ropes are 8’ long ... to make one that long and to clean up the end like I did in the other video u need a piece of Amsteel about 9’ to 9 1/2’ long.. hope that helps .. if u have any other questions please let me know and thanks for watching and reaching out .

@christopherhaak9824 3 года назад

@@BrettskiVT He made them from knitting needles, but you can buy fid tools online for relatively cheap, one of the only issues is that most purchased fids are not that long.
