Jeff, you never cease to amaze me. Thanks for all the “devices” you’ve created with amsteel. You’ve improved my hammock hanging immensely and encouraged and allowed me to drop all my Dutchware trinkets. 😁

Thanks! We've been using your soft shackles on our half dozen hammocks, and this pigtail loop looks even easier to make and more useful. Very useful explanation on why the thick portion of the line mustn't extend below the knot. The easy untie Beckett Hitch feature alone makes it worth making these to replace our soft shackles. Thanks. Time to make some new loops!

Thanks for sharing all your ideas and ways to accomplish many things without hardware. I bought some stuff recently from you and move it all. All your videos have been so informative and awesome.

The way the end is turned over for the loop, a figure 8 loop is likely stronger.

True. Lot's of thing are stronger , like the button would be higher tensile for example. The double overhand one works a bit better in this application and is more than strong enough

Nice one. I cant count the 2'-3' scraps ive fiddled with trying to come up with something like this. They never amounted to much. Much appreciated and look forward to trying with a Beckett. Cheers! -wasabijoe

Thanks Jeff, looks way easier to tie/splice than the button knot. IMO, though, it needs some testing -- will the double overhand knot on the doubled (very slippery) Amsteel hold for months or will it need to be re-tightened every now and then?

We've been using the double overhand rather than a button on a dozen hammocks, and it's never come undone or slipped out. After the first couple times under tension it hardens into an impossible to untie ball. Jeff's tip about not allowing the doubled portion of the line extend below the knot should make it even more secure.

Hey Jeff, just found your videos and am now interested in giving diy splicing a shot. It looks like most of the 7/64ths amsteel available around me is listed as 12 strand vs the 8 strand that it seems that you are using. Do I need to be concerned with using 12 strand? I’m guessing each individual strand is thinner with 12, which may make the rope a bit more slippery inside of the Burys. Thank you in advance for any input

12 strand is a little less grippy but still works fine. 7/64 8 strand is great !
