    Splice or no splice

    its hard to come up with definite numbers, especially with used rope. in my pull testing, splice vs. knot (bowline, scaffold) the splice always won. obviously a overused splice might break lower than a bowline. also i use hardware (steel carabiners and cmi shackle for the bigger lines) with...
