A noodle(Rs) is basically 2 bow lines tried into each other to form a pouch this has 3 strands in the pouch.
yes, but something i keep forgetting to share what i was told as a kid....the term has changed meanings but from what i have been told, 'noodle' has been used in slinging before. it would seem that once upon a time, slings were stiff or limber. the limber ones, as the stories were passed to me, were called noodles. i liked it so i use it for one stranders as they are kind of like a noodley sort. so take it for whatever, but just how it was passed to me.....even slang changes, lol. and according to the story, they used to have groups...like slinger camps, mercenary camps. in many one of the punishments for certain crimes was to be beaten with 'a wet noodle' in the hands of an expert oversaw by the master. from the story it was a serious punishment that left bloodie welts...and what is more, before u were accepted into the groups that used this tactic, u had to prove u were willing to submit to said punishment....only one way to prove that....
