Who would have thought that over 200, 000 would view this. Glad it has helped some and entertained others.

Beautimous, Brian. Best description and version of a westcoast I've ever seen.
Being a wimp I would have been adding another rotation of the standing part after 4-1.

This man spent a day or two in the woods, thankyou for the video sir.

Watching the video again I couldn't help noticing my catahoula pointer beagle dalmation terrier's twin brother, who recently, at 17, moved on to a better place.
Thanks!

hats off sir nice job i really admire your work here i never comment on any video but after seeing the hard work of doing this job i could not stop myself from appraising your job thank you very much.

Don’t know how I ended up here but this is pretty damn awsome

Note: the one way this splice varies from the BC splicing manual is that the core is tucked with strand 4, not as the seventh strand. Our testing showed that when tucked as the seventh strand, the splice is approximately 7% weaker.

Hell yeah!! Thank you much. I've always had a difficult time with backdooring but with this video I'll 100% be able to on my own 😂

[brookeroram]

Cheers man. I forgot about this splice. Great lesson!

[henryhockersmith]

Best splicing video and yes very easy to follow.

I've done thousands of these at our familys sling company as a kid. We used a splicing vice and had a second vice holding the other end which spun around to take the tension out of the rope. Also stood on this side - maybe he's over there for the camera. Also, we just unwound the whole tail to start with rather than the way he's unwinding one at a time.

I saw someone mention racing against others. Me and my brother would race, and I can't imagine anyone doing them much faster that we could. Mostly, we were doing 1/2" x 8' slings, but I've done up to 7/8" - that's a beast.

Excellent video! We'll use this in our yarding training, thanks for posting it.

Those were the days. Never wore gloves though because if a wire strand does go in your hand with gloves on you can’t see which way to go to pull it out. It happened a few times.

2 next1 and 2 next strand wow easy very nice presentation

I think the most crazy is lines for ski lifts
Gondola lines. What’s more crazy there’s only a hand full of people in the world that do it.

Nice! I hadn’t seen the cable splice since I was a young man. I never accomplished the feat with any degree of mastery. Too bad YouTube wasn’t available 50 years ago!

[briantuor]

There are a number of variations on the technique to create this splice. Where I am dropping down two strands and picking up two, you can go in the same hole that the spike is in and go the other way around the core and pick up the same two strands. If you leave the spike in the hole after the second tuck and pull back on it, sometimes it will open up the hole a bit and makes getting a second spike in the back door a bit easier. The tucks are the same just how you pick up the two strands for the second tuck is slightly different. Both ways work. Hope this helps.

Beautiful! This is the first wire splice I learned, and still one of my favorites.

[dannygonzalez]

I work on a shrimp boat I need this for the cables thanks for the video brother Definitely helps!!!

[samuelleeson]

Please do a video on the long splice! Very instructional video!
