We've been working hard the past few weeks to come up with some big changes to our vendor policies to meet the changing needs of our community. Please see the new vendor rules here: Vendor Access Area Rules
Knots on Bridge rope
- Thread starter Buckhorn70
- Start date
Figure 8s. You'll need to know how to tie it using the threaded method.
Tie normal figure 8 with lots on the tag end... capture bridge loop then trace back all the way through the knot coming out next to the working end of the rope.
Ends up being a figure 8 on a bight.
Edit: or learn to splice amsteel

Second that. Just "fixed" my bridge with this knot on each end.

If your bridge is amsteel blue dont use knots. I'm pretty sure the manufacturer would advise you to splice it. If your bridge is some other rope than disregard my comment.

I use a girth hitch on both sides. One side has to be sewn after you girth hitch it.
Oops sorry I just saw the rope part. I used tubular webbing.

Hey rut -
Just want to make sure you are aware that the box-x sewing pattern you used on your bridge may only be 30% of the weight rating of your webbing according to On Rope. Your life is being supported by those stitches. Maybe you tested this all out and you’re 100% comfortable, I don’t know. Just want you to be aware that there are stronger ways to sew webbing together.
