Is it possible to make a strong sling from thin and weak cord, without needing many strands ?
No. I mean the term strong is relative and if you are starting with weak cord and few strands you are by definition not going to be making a strong sling.
If you want to rephrase that and say is it possible to make a "useable" sling then yes, you can although the durability and safety is questionable. Neither of which I would really gamble with when spinning a stone around your head.
Your cord doesnt have to be super strong but you do want it within a certain range of safety.
Mind if I ask what prompted this question?
I had the question, after one of my slings with thin cords got destroyed and i wanted to know, if thin cords can work well on a sling.
