Hello From New Zealand (South Island)
Jan 20th, 2017 at 3:37am
 
Writing to you from Dunedin, NZ this cool and rainy summer evening. After making and using my first two slings, I'm a teensy bit obsessed. So, naturally, I made my way back to this site in a more personal fashion to discuss slings and slinging with people who are also a teensy bit obsessed. Glad to be here.

Hello and welcome to the site.  I'm from Alabama, that's in the southeastern part of the US.  If you can and feel like it, please post pictures of your slinging adventures.  This is an international site and almost everyone likes to see the different parts of the world where all the different slingers live.

I should clarify that I'm from Chicago, Illinois but moved to a little port town near Dunedin 10 years ago and married a Kiwi fella. I love it here.

Lord of the rings nerd here. Can't blame ya, sure is a gorgeous place. Anyone who can just pick up and move across the world has my utmost respect.

So you have some slings made, but how's the ammo situation over there? Do you guys have a lot of natural river stones?

Obsession! What obsession? Isn't it normal for a GUY to know the arts of braiding better than most girls and to have a stash of sisal, jute, hemp, wool, cotton, paracord, leather, mason's twine, tarred bankline, and who knows what else in the closet?

Welcome to sanity, everyone else is weird.  Shocked Shocked Shocked
