...and next to these beauties I post my very first sling
Cheap "paracord" I got from a supermarket and a slingshot pouch. No really a SLINGSHOT pouch. It's one of the ugliest slings in existence, especially nowadays as it's far grimier than this rather nice clean photo. As well as dirt it has some roughed up superglue on it to help protect the release cord which makes it look partly melted.
So how could this possibly be the best? I don't know. Somehow, by absolute sheer luck, I made almost the perfect length sling, with just the right weight and the pouch works surprisingly well for a flat piece of cheap faux leather. It slings well, it'll survive the apocalypse and it's just so darn comfy to use. I need to bust it out again sometime; get back to my humble beginnings and stop faffing with this woven pouch nonsense.
