Slings for my boys
Aug 17^th, 2026 at 5:49pm

I made my two little boys, 5 and 3, a new pair of slings this past weekend. I tried to copy the Neandrthal method. So thanks a million to you if you see this, brother. I really appreciate you sharing.

They’re both about 16 inches long. Perfect length for the little guys. 550 paracord with leather strip split pouch. I copied the leather dimensions off of my Pan Sling. (6 and 1/4” x 5/8” x 1/8”). That extra loop and knot you see at the end is just a place holder for a cracker. I didn’t want to loop to get pulled through on accident.

Let me know what you think, guys! I’d love to hear feedback back from people who actually know what they’re doing 😂

I resized them.
I ran a search on resizing images on an iPhone. It looks like that function doesn't exist natively. Which is weird... Huh

One of the members here (Snow Serg) has described a method of opening the image on your phone, and then doing a screen capture. That can vary by model, so you can search online if you're not sure how to do a screen capture. The new captured image should (theoretically) be a good size. Another thing you can do is find a free photo editor in the app store that will allow you to resize images. A width of around 1000 pixels is usually good for the forum. A little bigger is fine though.

And your slings look great to me. Thumbs Up

Hey, thanks so much for fixing that for me. I really appreciate that.

Ok, I tried something. Forgive my experimentation but if this worked these images should be adjusted to 1000px in width. Fingers crossed.

I made a very simple iPhone shortcut with the help of the AI overlords. Allow me to share the shortcut commands with a brand new and beautifully resized photo 😂 I hope this helps someone else on this forum. Please do share.

Nice! If you want to add instructions here, feel free: https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1676672557. The Administrative board isn't used much, but we do have a picture resizing topic there.

Done! I posted it over there. Hopefully it helps someone in the future.
