    Tips for optimal whoopie usage? (Hoping to use the 'free tail' to somehow 'snug' and/or secure things better and unsure what's best)

    This concept began bothering me when considering my 3-ringed x-sling, and how - OEM configuration - it's expected that the rings "squish" each other, and how I've always thought that 3/4TEC is too-large for a Lrg x-ring's sling-groove....so made a dedicated thread on the splicerack subforum on...

    It's funny because I'd initially had the Bloc on the p.dyne deadeye, then a TEC one, now a TEC whoopie :P For deadeyes with these types of slings I just use a basic cow-hitch, kinda rhetorical question but wanna verify, the cow-hitch seems to allow less slop than any other knot because of how...

    I know you're a very respected veteran but this is something I immediately wonder "Has that actually happened?" because of a couple reasons: - I've got the 3-ring, 6' "x sling", you could pop its rings since it was new or near-new (you have to fight them, but you can remove/reinsert them) - the...

    rofl that's why I never used my Safebloc when I first got it, I built "the ideal" sling for it which I reckoned was 3/4" polydyne and nearly 20' of it or over 15' at least, dead-eye, allowing virtually anything and with super-strength compared to TEC....its weight, and tying a long tail, made it...

    As title says, basically :P With my Safebloc whoopie, which I made extra long, I'm often in a situation where I can make a longer eye and wrap that eye around the stem an extra wrap, or simply do one wrap with the eye and have that giant tail hanging, which I tend to just take and run to the...
