Another question about making 7/64" amsteel daisy chains!
The DIY video I was working from folded a 12' length in half and created the end loop using a locking brummel. Instead of running loops the whole 6' length, he skipped ahead and left a couple of feet loose.
Here's my (stupid) question. Does it make any difference whether I run the whole length with chains? I feel like leaving a "big loop" between the end loop and the chain of loops could let things get out of order or tangled easily. Running out a whole 6' of locking brummels shouldn't negatively affect the strength of the rope (assuming I've spliced corrrectly), should it?
