No. But I've seen the movie, and it was pretty good.

I got it earlier... we should have planned better and called each other during!

Sweet... I looked and looked for different brands. Custom splice and overland were the only two I could find.. I ended up getting this one on sale. Ring and shackle for $50

Combo Pack Soft Shackle 7/16" 41,000 lb. and Recovery Ring 4.0" 41,000 lb.

I just bought a snatch block like that from custom splice

I have been looking for a soft shackle tree saver for a while. Now I really want one

Anyone here though about making these soft shakles?

Better watch it... might be stealing the “original”

But realistically, it’s cheaper to buy the China made than to buy the material and make them. Unless we can find a hookup on scrap line ends

Yes. The video makes it look too easy, it is not based on my trial and error

Thanks, just picked one up as well. @joeymt33 had one and it came in handy to quickly pick the machine up to adjust the shocks.

I'll look into finding the supplies needed!.
I would like to try and make a few.

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

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.
