Which island we're you at? I have been to Grand Bahama and Gilligan Island (they said that it was the island in the pictures not the actual island they filmed on).

G'day, cool photo's.  I like the look of that sling, how did you knot around the pouch?  It's hard to tell from the photo, but it looks good.  Does it go well?  I made a braided leather sling with a flat pouch a couple of years ago but two of the thongs have broken so I'm trying to work out how to make a new one (cheaply! I can't afford more than $2.50 at the most.  Wink).  I've spent the past three days trying to get my mind around a braided sling with a split pocket, but then I realised a single cord on it's own would do the same job and would be $9 cheaper...oops.

That is Scotland Cay off of Abaco Island. Maybe it's Little Abaco? I don't remember what big island it was off.

No we couldn't sling coconuts, but that thing in my sling is a premature coconut. Those fly great!

At the ends of my sling I have sheet bends. I have since then removed that string along the perimeter since I have found it does not really help and it would always fray. Now the main cords are tied right to the very ends of the pocket, and it seems to work a little bit better.

And yes, that was an awesome vacation and a great place to sling. My cousin and I had a grand time crafting that sling staff he's got.
