Channing's been talking about posting a tutorial for a while. I wasn't sure if he was ever going to do it or not. But it's up. The Practical Paracord Smiling Sling tutorial.

YouTube also suggested a video posted a few days earlier by another channel with a similar sling, which seems a little strange to me.:

I didn't look in detail, correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, there are a lot of paracord slings out there with similar 4-strand braid designs. But Channing's is definitely the most refined of the bunch! And he's made a million of those smiling slings, so you can tell the quality difference from all the practice compared to making one yourself. He's a pro!

I've seen some other stuff from that guy in the past. Seems like a pretty good channel.
But good grief, I wish he would stop calling that a Balearic sling.

I've seen dude in videos in the Balearic Islands at slinging competitions, he should definitely know better!
