Just put together my copy of the Utilibridge on a fleece saddle. I decided to girth bitch both ends so that I can take it on and off. I also used 1/4 inch amsteel for everything because it’s all I had. Works good so far! Easy to diy.
The continuous loop is probably closer to 2 feet around. It’s too long honestly, but I wanted to be able to girth hitch it to remove it.Interesting. What size did your continuous loop for the prussic come out to? Do you think it's too long/short or the right length?

Lol fixed it. Autocorrect does the craziest things. Yes I used 1/4 amsteel for both. It was an old Whoopie sling I had as a bridge and hated. This is much better.lol girth bitch, but did you use amsteel for both the bridge and prusik?
Idk I wish I had some other sizes of amsteel on hand to test. I don’t think it would be any better with a smaller size. I think it would bite way too hard, it’s hard to move already.I was thinking about making one up with 1/4 for both as well but thought wonder why Tethrd didn't do it this way. Maybe something they caught during testing?
Typically any friction hitch should be smaller than the rope its providing friction on. I've actually made the mistake of trying to tie a friction hitch out of the same rope I was using as my main line and it didn't work well at all. I'm not sure amsteel would be the same way, but I don't see why it wouldn't.Idk I wish I had some other sizes of amsteel on hand to test. I don’t think it would be any better with a smaller size.

Since the bridge part is doubled, it’s thicker than the PrusikTypically any friction hitch should be smaller than the rope its providing friction on.

I have this same setup with a tender and 8mm from muddy. I run it as a schwebash with a tender and 5.5 mm cordellete like you mentioned and its worked really well for me. Only difference is that I can detach my bridge because I'm running a carabiner instead of having it tied off.I made one up last night and was able to use my 5.5mm Beal cordellete (same material as sewn Beal jammy) appears to be gripping well.
That makes perfect sense.Since the bridge part is doubled, it’s thicker than the Prusik
Yep exactly right. Started with about 6 feet, so ~3ft when finished. Probably too long.Is this a locked Brummel with a full length bury?
I did the same and feel like I want mine longer.Yep exactly right. Started with about 6 feet, so ~3ft when finished. Probably too long.
