Posts: 4	Hello from Tennessee Oct 17^th, 2022 at 1:07pm Hey all, been haunting this site for a while and figured it was finally time to start participating. Really enjoy making and using slings, I'll post some pictures later on of the slings I make typically in the huaraca fashion... labor intensive to say the least...

I'm a slow braider, still perfecting some of the transitions. But it's become a bit of an obsession to make the "perfect" sling... Hooah! Been through Campbell myself a few times, not such a bad place to be. I'm about three hours from there right now.
