Another Beeline Thread

This is for a foot lock prussik and for a friction saver.

Is there a way to do the splice on a ring for the friction saver? The brummel lock (I posted a pic on page 2 of this thread) requires you to invert the eye which makes it impossible to splice onto a ring??

To accomplish what you're talking about, you literally have to unweave the rope, form the brummell, and weave it back together. Sounds crazy, but it works and can be quite elegant.

Another option would be to do a standard core-to-core splice and rely on the bury for the strength.

Hmmm... I guess I should start with one thing at a time. Are there instructions somewhere on how to do the splice with the covered eyes??
