A few pictures of the sling I put together last night, it's made of jute waxed with paraffin and cow hide for the pouch.
I was thinking of doing a tutorial on a sling like this if enough people are interested I'll give it a shot, thanks everyone let me know what you think.

That looks real nice. I'm going to have to go back to making some slings. With the snow I'm not able to sling but making slings is still possible

Thanks, those cold winter nights are perfect for working on a project nothing beats sitting next to a fire and making a sling... well except maybe taking that sling out when it's done and winging a few rocks haha.

I've been slinging plenty of snow and ic but it's not the same as rocks and like Deformed Skewb said (awesome name by the way) it's more that it gets bloody cold and wet. It's not dipped too low yet but it won't be long before it's minus 20 something.
