Nice sling NimNom!
Lost your first sling in Lake Superior? That's a story you need to tell now.
So I was on this strange sidewalk pier thing on the side of the Great Lake, and I thought "Hey, I should see how far I can throw a lake rock with my sling!"
(This sling was made of rope I had spun from elm bark, and a rag as the pouch. Very ghetto.)
I wound up and released, and the rope broke! Sling flew 15 feet into the lake, and the rock soared straight up into the air! Almost hit my brother.
Was pretty bummed about it, but now that I have this new sling it doesnt seem so bad anymore
