Ahha! I need a pusher for my Fid! I have been using miles of painters tape holding rope in my fids and occasionally pulling an empty fid out of the other end. BTW I made two Ultra Slings with yoru tutorial video, thank you for sharing sir!
Ya splicing is one of those things you need the tools for. Also I ordered some tenex to do the ultra sling on the single ring. So I'll do a video on that to. Stay safe man 👊
Thanks for Sharing man that is A VERY good looking eye I think it's bad ass you splice your own stuff. I want to learn how to splice but I still don't understand how a splice works meaning what holds the eye from undoing it self when in heavy use . All in all though really good video .👍🏼 😄😂 I dont think the boss is going to appreciate the laundry in the back ground of the video man lol . Stay safe
Lmao the boss wont watch it I hope 😁 and if you ever practice a splice you will understand how it works. When under load it acts like a chinese finger trap, theres no way its comming undone. If you break test a splice it brakes well below the splice at the taper not even at the eye. Just look up break testing eye splice on youtube, Richard Mumford does some good videos. Thanks for watching brushlife 🇨🇦👊🇨🇦
Ya it's tough to show everything, splicing is something you have to practice, I'm still learning to make tutorials. Thanks for watching man I appreciate the support. Stay safe and healthy 👊
Hey brother, wanted thank you for all the work you do for us. Stumbled across your channel recently and love how you do what you do. Good work helping my pee brain understand finally how to splice, and make it look dam good
I can show you a great secure application for your garage to get an anchor point from... It'll help you throughout many many applications in the future God bless bro I love the spice by the way great work
Great video brother. Any chance you can make a video of all your slicing equipment and where you got it? I'm in the process of learning to splice and love watching your videos. Again great video.
Ya it's nice to be able to make your own stuff, I would have taken a course if one was available. There are some very good instructions online as well though. Thanks for watching 🇨🇦👊🇨🇦
Mark Przekurat is an awesome guy. His course was very enjoyable and we got some shiny things to take home and into the trees. facebook.com/fidsandfibers/
Its called the D-splicer soft fid, I believe its from uk, I got mine from ebay, make sure you check the size before you order, I believe there is 3 sizes, Anyway it works awesome
👍🏻 thanks for the video like the idea useing harness too.. U have had to akimbo for a while now right? I’m assuming you played around with the settings a bit. have u come up with rule of thumb Method for fine tuneing it like what changeing the top vs bottom adjustment affects what action/personality?
Well it really depends on the rope, And your weight, I mainly use it on xstatic, I cant remember the exact settings but the main thing is you dont want it to creep and you dont want it to be hard to release. I have a few different climb lines now I will do a video about it. I'm doing the zigzag plus review next though, Hope that helps, it's kinda like friction cords different for everyone. Stay safe man 👊
Awesome I just got the akimbo so will be playing with it. your first impressions review u seem to have it somewhat figured out like it came naturally to you. Will be waiting and watching for both videos. I been wondering about the zig zag plus too so can’t wait. Watching fronn Florida.
@@jeremyrosenahagen4577 I hope you like the akimbo as much as I do! And yes I will do a follow up on the akimbo and the zigzag plus will come soon. Just dont use the akimbo in really sappy trees it sucks with pitch, a really wet rope has a similar effect but you can adjust it to compensate.
No, the lock stitch actually doesn't do much, it just keeps it in place under light loads, once its settled in its pretty much redundant, ive heard people say worn out lock stitching caused their rope to start pulling out but I call bs on that 😆 anyway its important to lock stitch but a cover is not required.
Poplar Mechanic okay thanks. Cause I took mine off a while ago and it’s starting to get all dirty and kinda worrying me. Manly cause I don’t know much about splicing.
Do you test your splices? Im interested in splicing up an end for an ajustable friction saver. But I worry that as my first time splicing double braid that this might kill me
As long as you did the splice correctly its highly unlikely it will come apart, I lock stitched mine but yes I've tested these extensively, basically I got these splices from new England ropes.
Go to 5:10 on this video link, its a 3/4 inch rope i spliced exactly like the one in this video m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1_EK-sAmnqY.html
