Durc Tiro Offline One shot, one hit. Maybe. I don't know. Posts: 15 Gender:	Storage Mar 6^th, 2011 at 12:06am I was wondering how you guys store your slings. Mine is simply one string in the pouch and then it is rolled up and the other string ties it in a cylinder.

When David first posted this method of tying up your slings so they don't get tangled I adopted it and have been doing it ever since. It's a great idea. I have a lot of slings right now. As the weather turns nice I'll be running into my young friends outside and I'll be giving them all away. They know that if I'm walking the dogs with my back pack I'll have them. I installed a board of coat hooks near my door and I hang the slings there for now.

But mostly I use braided slings which don`t tangle as much, and therefore they are just stuffed in a pocket. timann

Great minds think alike? I also keep my sisal slings draped over a coat hanger when they are not in the back of my truck. I do keep one sling permanently in the side pocket of my backpack so I won't forget it if I head up into the mountains.

I'm sliiiiinging in the rain, just sliiiiinging in the rain. What a wooonderful feeeling I'm sliiiiinging again!
