"Hello!" from a new member.
Mar 17^th, 2026 at 8:10am

Hi All! I'm joining from the UK.

I recently got interested in slings when I listened a true story about a slave who fought their way to freedom using one.

I teach ranch roping ('lasso') basic skills, which may also partly explain the sling thing.

I enjoy braiding, knotting and weaving and I'm a sucker for coloured cordage (not what you are thinking!), so I got hooked on building paracord slings.

I am thinking about selling my slings (very small batches) more for the pleasure than the profit, does anyone have any tips, advice or warnings?

Thanks!

I have a very vague intention of trying it out Establishing a bit of an online presence somehow (it doesn't have to be as fancy as Primal or Pan) would help the sales side of things I think. It's something I'm hope to work on myself...
