How often do you lose slings?
Jun 17^th, 2012, 3:20pm

I'm starting to actually sling again, and all my slings seem to have got up and walked off on me. I've found two decent ones. The rest seem to have run away. Another I'm currently fixing, as the pouch is far to loose. I seem to have lost the majority of what I've made in the past. Tis very disappointing.

So how many have just disappeared? Or that you've forgotten somewhere and never returned to get? This is entirely seperate from them being destroyed in someway.

"Dead!" I answered, and amiably "Murdered," the Hangman corrected me. "First the alien ... then the Jew. I did no more than you let me do."

I've only lost a couple that I haven't found. I mostly sling in my backyard so if I lose a sling during practice chances are I'll find it the next day.

I've forgoton a lot of things awhen I needed them before. I've even forgoton my shoes a few times, but slings are something I check often that they are in my pocket. I guess that means its ususally more important that I have my slings than my shoes. I guess priorities are different for everyone.

1 Samuel 14:7

"Like tying a stone to a sling is the giving of honor to a fool" Proverbs 26:8

In a jacket pocket that I haven't worn since last winter, under the car seat, under the bed, behind the couch etc. Several given away to kids and dog walkers. I still seem to be surrounded by slings even so.

Reply #6 - Jun 18^th, 2012, 12:11pm I'm pretty sure the ghost of Elvis shows up at night and takes them. That doesn't count the misplaced ones that show up in an area I know I looked in twice and they weren't there then.

8-10 I guess. I'm always on the move when slinging, walking the Huskies of course, so I occasionally loose one. The worst was a beautiful, perfect Rockman I'd taken my time making. I dropped it on the way to one of our local parks. I quickly back tracked once I realized it was gone, to no avail. Someone must have picked it up. I hope that at least it didn't go to waste... that they knew what it was and used it.

Wife and I got to rearranging the bed room and my missing Aussie pouch turned up! You know your a slinger when you shout with joy when you find a long lost sling.

Reply #11 - Aug 6^th, 2012, 8:47am I have only lost one, and it was my very first sling, my medicine piece. I left it at my ex-girlfriend's apartment. So while not entirely lost, it is nevertheless irretrievable.

Hell, I somehow still have my first sling in my closet, despite 4-5 chaotic moves that managed to whittle my belongings down by 75%. I still put 1-5 down, just to play it safe. I had to have lost at least one at some point
