Drongo Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 After reading threads on here and other places, I thought I'd have a go at making my own game carrier for rabbits... All the ones I've seen look like they are just a strap, slung over your shoulder... I wanted one that you could make a loop, adjustable for the size of clothing and also to help keep it on your shoulder.... This is what I came up with... If I was do it again, which i will, I'd use welded rings instead of split ones (it was all I had in the house) and I may get a bit more creative with my colours. I also may do a double width weave to spread the load more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marki Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 NIce work. I was thinking of knocking one up the other day but it would have consisted of a bit of garden twine and..... well thats it really. Silly question, how do you attach the game to the rings?

Big Mat Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Look abit like the one i made. How do you put the game on the rings? On mine i've just got a noose not on the end and i put the heads through and tighten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drongo Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Silly question, how do you attach the game to the rings? Pull a loop of cord through the ring, hook loop over feet, let go... Bit like a larks foot knot, if you know what that is...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 That looks great - I'm going to have to have a go too. Can I ask about the brown lengths of paracord. How long did you make them and are they all separate strands or have you got some way of stopping them pulling straight through the cobra weave?

Drongo Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) The tightness/friction of the camo weave stops you pulling the brown cords through... I've also since dunked it in boiling water to shrink the knots and further tighten it... Length, well the rings are ended up about 2-3 inches below by hip, just long enough to tuck them into your pocket... Make them longer than you think you need, easier to cut them than to realise you've started them too short... The little round button knot is tight but moves up and down to adjust for depending on clothing...

Gordon R Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I can build cars, motorbikes etc. and bodge most things. What I do lack is the skill to create something like these. Well done. :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
