Just dipping my toes into this saddle thing
Bought a piece of BW 11.6mm Assault line last year to make a lineman's belt for hanging lock on stands and being ignorant of ropes in general did not realize that splicing an eye into that type of rope was above my ability (if it can be done I would like to know how with the stranded core it had in it). So I tossed it in a pack and ordered some double braid (after more research) and built my lineman's belt
Wondering what those with more experience think about using this rope for a tether by tying a figure 8 in the end of it to form a loop and running back through itself?
Is it safe? I see rock climbers use it to tie into harnesses with so thinking it would be a good choice
I can buy more double braid and make a tether with a spliced loop or even buy a commercially made tether if the BW rope with figure 8 is not a good choice but I had the Assault line so I thought I would ask since I am capable of tying a knot
Feedback and opinions appreciated, I have thick skin
