Although on a short prussic you don't need to bother with turning the rope inside out, simply pass the whole thing through.

Samson have the best splicing instructions.

 

Either this one, or use the locked brummel instructions from the whoopie sling instructions.

 

I would go with the brummel personally, the bury is shorter which is better for eye and eye prussics, although the first splice is stronger.

thanks for the links, looking at them i think i might of used the locking brummel on one side of the eye and the tapered splice back in on the other??? is this a way of doing it or have i got confused?

cheers caRL.

You could yes, but you might as well stick to one or the other.

Never used these instructions or tenex before, but these look like they could be what you are looking for.
