"Balearic style" sling from a single piece of Dyneema rope

This isn't my tutorial.  Just one that popped up in my YouTube recommendations.  It looks pretty good.  This is the only sling-related video on the guy's channel.

Thank you for the share! That was a pretty informative tutorial. I really like how the dyneema looks, I would like to get my hands on some - only have some 1.5 mm that I used for a cable replacement.

I have little experience with dyneema, but how slick is it? I prefer to heavily wax my slings to make them "grippier". Would it absorb wax?

Yes, you can wax it.  Archaic Arms does this in his Balearic sling making video for the exact same purpose, https://youtu.be/NRzGbu7Bvfo&t=1477.

Perfect! I just ordered a spool of UHMWPE throw line, I couldn't justify Dyneema cord. It's kind of pricey in my neck of the woods, but the throw line seemed to be affordable
