Yo, WiscoNick!
So, I have two of the x rigging rings coming and want to make a rigging saver like a friction saver.
My plan is to use 1/2" tenex for its ease of splicing. For abrasion resistance I plan to take a cordura sheath and cut it lengthwise; then wrap it tight on the tenex and lock stitch it the entire length of the sling. The idea is to prevent it from bunching if installed or retrieved remotely.
What is the best way to splice it? Should I do a locked brummel? Can i do a locking brummel onto two thimbles? What about a straight bury splice? that seems easiest yes?
I am thinking I want to get to as close to 36" as possible, but the splicing instructions for 1/2" tenenx list a 2 fid bury (22" right?) so thats a minimum of 44"?
I have to order the tenex so... whichever way you recommend to use can you give me a length that i should buy?
