im pretty proud of this baby. I stripped the cores from the paracord and made a tut sling.

Nice work!

I felt a spur of jealously.

I see a project in my near future :)

yea i was really impressed with how it turned out. see ive tried it with the cores in the paracord but its too heavy for my taste and the the cords are way too big for my preference. however, 3 coreless strips of paracord makes in my mind the perfect cord width, very similar to 6 strands of mason line braided which is what i usually use.

Very nice, I like woven pouches best. Did you use this http://slinging.org/index.php?page=a-method-for-reproducing-a-sling-found-in-the-tomb-of-tutankhamen---timothy-potter ?

yea i pretty much use that as a guide but i do a few think differently. my main differences are the numbers i use for the weft and how i braid. since the cordage is larger than what he uses

That thing is gorgeous. I'm a big fan of gutted paracord. Hopefully you'll be posting a bit of a tutorial?
