Haven't posted in a bit. What is your absolute favorite sling? This is mine

I have been playing with different materials, and braid/pouch types and designs. So far I have settled on this as my favorite sling type I have made. It is a five strand flat braid dressed in leather and whipping knots as I always do. I had never put one of my leather pouches on a flat braid sling yet. I love the combo. I also tapered the braid down on the release end. It is tricky to taper a ten strand flat braid into a five, but I figured I would do it after the pouch so it would be covered by my whipping knot. It works like a charm. I will probably focus mostly on designing slings like this from now on, unless one of y'all can change my mind about other varieties. I have also settled on loving handy hundred cordage for my slings. It is pretty much micro Paracord. I have tried jute, hemp, and other natural materials. While I gotta say nothing beats the feel of natural cordage. I like the overall performance, and longevity of the handy hundred cord. Plus each cord can hold at least 100lbs so it is practically for survival scenarios where you may have to sacrifice a sling, to make a shelter etc. I am curious what your favorite slings are. Pics or videos would be encouraged. Also I would consider trades or selling my slings if anyone takes interest. Sorry for the hiatus fellas.
