end for end splice to make a prussic loop ?

[vladimir]

Does any one have any thoughts on and end for end splice to make a prussic loop. I was thinking of using a brummel type splice to make a prussic loop out of some ice tail or even arom pruss. But ive never seen it done before. apart from maybe the Roop slings ?

Also though it could be quite neat on armor pruss if you pull the cover over the splice so it cant be seen , or exposed to any heat or friction.

Is the splice suitable for this application ?

[Marc Lewis]

I do not know if it is suitable or not. I used to end for end splice 3 strand for my prussic loops.

hey mark. You still working up newbry way ? its jake by the way.

Not sure but won't the splice change the characteristics and handling of the prussic and ultimately its safety?

A double fishermans knot though ungainly and bulky at least is obvious enough not to be positioned wrongly.

Correct me if you think I've missed something here.

the end for end splice is perfectly good for a fishermans loop- just make sure the splice is on the leg when tied. i probably wouldnt try Ap as the core is very non heat resistant. ive made a few out of icetail, just do a long bury. Samson instructions are the best to follow

Hi andy. no dont think you've missed anything, I was just curious if there was a safety reason, why people don't make their own end for end spliced prussicks.

[vladimir]

cool glad someone has done it before. new possibilities, long foot locking slings, riggings sligs, even pulley saver set ups!!! Thanks drew.

i wouldnt get too excited bro, prussic loops i find have limited uses in tree work these days.

[vladimir]

was just looking at the the amount of burrie needed, going to be a bit cumbersome, as andy was saying. do you know much about the doulble braid end for end splice ? looks to me it might not be that strong as the inner braid isnt joined ?

I use one but on my adjustable. For to much agro for something that wears out.
