You see, you think it is ok to have failure in anchor setup cause there is always a #2 or # 3 point which will take the load in event one goes down.
What I am trying to tell you is this; It is not ok to have failure in anchor setup and you should never treat a real climbing anchor setup as an experiment especially when your life is depending on it. Anchor failure or any type of failure in climbing could result with sever consequences.
So repeat after me;
I build myself a bomber anchor with no failure ever
I build myself a bomber anchor with no failure ever
I build myself a bomber anchor with no failure ever
I build myself a bomber anchor with no failure ever
I build myself a bomber anchor with no failure ever
I build myself a bomber anchor with no failure ever

Can you remove the right side anchor on your first image and load the power point and post a photo. I just want to see how ugly that power point will look like with those spectra slings and knots once load is shifted.

There are three things that jumped off the page when I saw j_ungs photos. 1) judging by the patches in his lawn, this dude probably has a dog. 2) It looks like he's got more clover then grass in some places. 3) He probably doesn't care about his lawn, and would rather be out climbing or doing something climbing related then pushing a lawn mower. It gave your post an instant credibility boost.

Why would you care to see this Majid? Afterall you only build anchors where nothing ever fails?

I came up with this, just messing around. The cord is different diameters, only because it was all that I had. The arms would work just like a regular equallette. The only concern that I could see was in the case of failure in an entire side, the overhand knots might roll and come apart. Any thoughts?
or with fisherman's knots, which is bulky, but with all 7mm cord it might not be to bad.
