Let me know if you need tips on how to make them, in your business you may be able to find dyneeema at a good price
How long does the loop need to be? Not sure what lengths are really needed to make them useful.
Also what diameter rope?

I've been using these. They are 1/4" with an 11,000lb rating. The new bubba shackles are 3/8 rope and rated at 50,000lbs. I think 1/4" rope is more than sufficient and the video above answers all your questions related to length and where to cut/tie for a similar sized shackle

Check this out at Amazon.com

My other hobby is pretending to be an arborist. When we bought our house, i had a bunch of trees to remove and delimb.
Cost was huge so i bought all the equipment and did it myself.

Part of that was splicing my own ropes, making my own prussiks and rope lanyards and rigging.

When i get time ,hopefully this weekend i will post up a tutorial on making your own soft slings. Going to make a tree saver length soft shackle.

Honestly though, unless you just enjoy making your own stuff, it is cheaper to buy the Amazon stuff when you consider your time.

Thanks I'll be watching for your input. I know you can buy cheaper, but I would like to learn how to make them. I think it would be cool to give a few away on the trail. And be able to say I made them.
