Eye to eye friction hitch sling

[treepanda]

Just spliced up an Armor prus eye to eye friction hitch sling, using the fantabulous jerry Class 3.5 splice... it occurred to me that there is no need to stitch or whip the splices as both end of the splice are buried and so put tension on the the end of the other splice so are constantly under tension so they cannot work lose...

 

Or.. I am mad.. what do yous fellas think?

What's the Jerry class splice, got any instructions?

The jerry class- absolute gold jezza!!

It's usually under low loads that a tail might creep.

As slack is taken from a system, and the unloaded hitch is being shunted forward, there exists a moment when the hitch cord is not pulling tighly on its splices.

This is when I would be more confident in a splice that's been locked.

The prussicing motion of load, unload, load unload is also an area that it may creep if not stitched tight

Jerry class?
