The Easiest Way to Make Soft Shackles
In this video we explain how to tie a soft shackle with an overhand knot and double figure eight knot and load test the results.
Overhand knot holds 75% of line strength, double figure eight holds 150%.
Do not use for safety critical applications (e.g. 4x4 recovery)!!!
