Don't ask me how it happened I still can't quite figure it out. I can only imagine how much worse it could have been if the knot was a bit heavier.

A before and after beeswax and about a weeks worth of slinging. This is a hemp split pouch made with four 1/16" diameter strands, which braid into 3/16 to 1/4" diam cords. Pouch is 4.75" long; sling is 28" Pouch ctr to release knot. I rate this sling as at least equal to my seatbelt sling, which I am very partial.

First, a package sent by Ilovepancakes which had some nice hemp. I didn't even asked it, he sent it from the generosity of his heart. Thanks a lot buddy.

I have yet to use it, but seems like a solid sling. The hemp was thick enough, so I used it for a 2 string design. Ilp's hemp for the body, 1.5 mm hemp for the pouch, weaves and whips.

Posts: 1267 Lima, Peru Gender:	Re: Pictures of Slings and Slinging Reply #1733 - Apr 12^th, 2010 at 5:33pm On Thursday last week, me & my friends climbed one of the many mounts surrounding town. A phisically demanding task, I'm still sore to this day. A 60 degree climb of soft, loose dirt at some spots.
