How to do a class 1 double-braid eye splice in Yale Blue Moon rope

In this video I describe how to do an eye splice in Yale Blue Moon rope. Blue Moon is a popular double-braid rope used by tree climbers, and has been marketed under a variety of names depending on color, including Aztec, Luna, Poison Ivy, Sumac, Arrow Frog, and Focus. All color variations of this rope are spliced the same way.

This is one of the best eye splice how to videos on YouTube! Thank you for the very clear explanation!

[hugoh.]

One of (of not THE) best, detailed, clear, consice and understandable videos on the internet hands down! 🙏👍

[davidwinters]

Clear and able to follow instructions for an eye splice.

[TimberTrainer]

I like your string markers. It makes a more presentable finished eye without a bunch of sharpie marks.

Thanks so much for clarity of explanation and your knowledge of the products you are working with . You are a true craftsman and a great teacher.

Extremely good great production sir. Amazing detail, clear, concise, etc. Best splicing video for this type of rope on the internet!

Really can't thank you enough for the clarity of these videos. Learning to splice was my covid project. Between manufacturer printed instructions and your YouTube videos I was able to tackle these with confidence. The printed instructions, while detailed, are intimidating to interpret.

helped me with my first ever splice, thanks mate!

[Kevin.L_]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

I'll be back to rewatch when I get a fid.

[alotlkevegas]

What a great informative video! Thank you for sharing this. That was some voodoo magic making the core disappear.

[justinrutan]

Thanks so much for the video, do you have one that shows how to incorporate a ring into the splice

[causewaykayak]

This is some sort of magic. Who invents this stuff. Where have all those bits gone?? did the cover transmute into becoming the core. ?

How exactly does this work.??

Can you show us how to do the lock stitching and explain the whole process of the lock stitching and i have heard you call it safety stitching. Thank you Eric!

[salvadorsanchez]

Sorry for my ignorance whats the measurement of ..1 the whole fid..2 the large fid 3 small fid? Whats that on a tape measure..? Please l'm trying to splice my blue moon rope...and l don't have the fid lile yours ...thank you and you do grate job

[tanguerochas]

Very well done. I am not seeing any difference from a standard double-braid eye splice. First one I've seen showing using standard tubular fids and the wire fid.

[phaedruskener]

Would I be correct to assume this splice would work on all the Yale xtc-24 family ropes?

[VinnieChenzo]

Eric can you do a video on a 3 strand thimble install on 3/4" heavy rigging rope.

[eriksonsimbolonofficial]

Please make a tutorial on how to make dead rope eyes.

[jthadcast]

should i use this splice for making a ring and ring adjustable friction saver out of blue moon rope?

[davidmaes]

A pair is 2. If you remove five pairs of core strands, do you remove 10 individual strands?
