My main curiosity with the ELET is that we know soft on soft is not the best attachment methods for runners and cords strength wise, but will the sheet bend attached runner prove stronger than just a plain ol' limiter knot in the same place.
The ELET is a general, triangular structure; this can be implemented in various
ways. E.g., concerned with soft-2-soft, you could clip a sling into 'biners,
and use cord to tie off the 'biners and make the
connecting side of the
ELET (as Aric shows, but absent 'biners at cord-2-tape joints). Or, a single
tape could be Clove hitched to the 'biners at the connection corners, and
separate material used to connect from 'biner to anchor.
I should expect that an equilateral triangle would be adequate in most cases,
and this will keep the connection corners from shifting to the powerpoint if
one side pulls out. (Aric's short sling doesn't achieve this; and the Triplette
was shown with an overly long connecting strand.)
In reply to:
And the Triplette is an implementation of the ELET, except that with the
connecting (single) strand nearly the same length as the paired strands
(which are clipped), it allows needless extension vs. limiting it--which I
see someone (Bill7) actually thought was a GOOD thing!?)
