The Lair

Can you test that out please?

 

How? I want to test

 

I figured I would bring it to work and use a bucket truck to pick something up with it.

 

no offense <3

 

This sounds good. Can you pick up something with a known weight and add weight incrementally until it breaks? Then you’ll know the breaking limit.

 

I don't want to break it

 

I can pick things up that i almost know the weight of. It's made out of the same rope that's in my winch. Its doubled over too.

 

What the working load limit of a commercially available soft shackle? If your soft shackle can pick up something of similar weight, then you’re golden.

 

Greeeat. Even though it's exactly what they want, I'll probably pay for YouTube red to get rid of the ads. I watch too much YouTube at work, so it'll be worth it.

 

Mind control bro. Don't do it

 

That’s the diamond knot southeast overland still uses. If your interested there’s now a new button knot almost 2x stronger of the amsteel breaking strength. This is a great video all about it.

Because of this video I almost started making soft shackles but amsteel line needed is pricey. Still would like to make a few for myself..

 

On nights, I literally spend 12 hours on YouTube for nights in a row. I'd go crazy with all the ads.

 

There is enough ads on tv, now we can't get rid of youtube's ads... damn

stuck the truck and pull it out with another one

 

I just checked and it's $10 a month

 

I was doing a bit of research on the different sites. My issue is that everyone uses 3/16" amsteel. Their measurements are a lot different than mine. This is 3/8" which line, so the knots become bigger faster and the rope left over becomes shorter and shorter much faster too. The soft shackle calculator I found also has instructions. I followed those, but am open to a different approach. I used roughly 6 feet of line for this, with about 60 feet left over.

 

Prager U is suing YouTube.

 

Yup that's exactly why they're suing.

 

While y’all are concerning yourselves with shackles I’ve got to figure out how to replace my tow plug and harness. OEM or aftermarket?

 

Did you manage to rip the end off?
