As we patiently wait for our next session this is a good time for gear maintenance. What better way to pass the time than with some DIY hardcore rope porn.
Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to test the Möbius Brummel eye splice under load when Bill and I flagged out, self-rescued and packed up. It worked like a charm.
The other day, I talked to Donaldson Rope and they don't believe the Möbius Brummel eye splice is stronger. Instead they follow the rope vendors instructions and normally use a lock stitch. Donaldson Rope makes big ass eye splices for mooring huge ships.
If you want super duper strength, consider using the Möbius Brummel eye splice PLUS securing the buried end with a lock stitch.
