Brummel Lock Splice Continuous Prusik Loops 🌳 Splicing Amsteel, Zing-it or Lash-it 🌲 How-to Guide

- Endless spliced loops are a far neater solution than a messy knot, so in this video I’ll show you how to make your own, of whatever size you require.
I’ll also talk you through the various strengths of each type of dyneema cord so you can choose the right cordage for the right application. Dyneema cords like Amsteel and Zing-it/Lash-it are hugely useful for bikepacking and hammock camping.
They are so useful for attaching your tarp to your ridgeline using prusik loops (checkout my tarp configs video for details - see link below) and for attaching your hammock to your whoopie slings.

The hardest part of any adventure is getting yourself Out of the Door! Almost all of us live busy lives, have other commitments, and have a limit to the funds with which to pursue the adventures we dream of.
But there are so many adventures that can be accessible to us if we just get Out that Door and make a start.
You don't need the latest and most fancy equipment, you don't need a huge bank balance, you don't need superhuman abilities and you don't need weeks of free time!
There are so many adventures, not far from where you live, that require only the the most basic equipment and that may only take a few hours - the rewards of getting Out that Door are waiting for you!
Equipment I use (note - it's good quality, but in most cases not the most expensive option, fun doesn't need to be super expensive!):
Bike: Trek Checkpoint ALR5
Hammock: DD Superlight Hammock
Sleeping Bag: Decathlon Forclaz Trekking - MT900 10°C
Underquilt: Alpkit Cloud Cover or DD Underblanket
Bike Bags: Apidura Expedition range
Tarp: DD Superlight Tarp (3m x 2.9m) or Superlight Tarp S (2.8m x 1.5m)
Groundsheet: DD magic carpet - Regular
Wood Stove: Bushcraft Essentials Bushbox XL
Gas Stove: MSR Pocket Rocket Stove Kit
Coffee maker: Aeropress Go
Music: www.bensound.com
Very easy to follow
Thanks
ive replaced the prusik on my zing-it ridgeline with nama claws by nama gear. very functional and make clipping in faster.
They look very secure! It'll probably last years, but I just don't like the idea of any of the metal claw type clips on the ridge line. I'd be laying there in my hammock thinking of it chaffing!
Great instructional video, thanks. Have a splicing kit on order, how about a whoopie sling and adjustable ridge line how to`s?
Thanks. Will be putting videos on those subjects up in about a month, great suggestions!
You’d get a nicer taper if, instead of cutting the four strands even (going from 8 to 4) you’d cut the four strands along the taper (8>6>4>2). Very nicely presented. Thank you.
Yeah, that's absolutely true, but takes a bit longer and is barely noticeable with relatively small diameter cord.
I also sail (am an experienced yachtmaster); when using much larger diameter ropes (often doublebraid) would absolutely do more to smooth the taper. But for me personally, I don't see much value in doing so with the small stuff I use with my hammock/tarp.
If you want the ultimate taper though go for it!
Hello,
Thanks for the video.
So basically the line does a 180 degree bend and goes back into it's body...
Do you know of any strength tests for loops made this way?
Yeah that's right, basically pass it through itself, bend back 180 degrees and bury the end back inside.
The strengths I listed in the video were from the manufacturer's (Samson Ropes) website, I confirmed with them by email that the spliced strengths they listed are applicable to Brummel Spliced cordage.
@@outthedooradventure Thank you very much, maybe my Google-Fu is weak but finding strength tests for this splice is difficult. The other way has a higher break test but then you have to sew...and your method is still about 140% of the best knot test I could find.
I was afraid of the re-braid method but when I actually sat though the only re-braid video I could find, it isn't as hard as I thought, but re-braiding is probably easier with larger line ua-cam.com/video/9-4AYV7jKRA/v-deo.html
