jfletch88 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Has anyone else seen these hand made paracord slings? More importantly has anyone had a go at making one yet?! Think I might give it a go when I get some free time. There seems to be loads of variations that you can do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBeaky Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Doubled Portuguese sinnet - go one way, then go back over out in the opposite direction. www.theparacord store.co.uk are quite good on price if you want a reasonable quantity.

Rogc Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) ]Was thinking of doing a multi coloured one. Easy to do and a great stress reliever.

alexl Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 it would also work with a double cobra weave. TBH im not sure how different the cobra weave is to the Portuguese sinnet looking at two pictures, might just be the American name for it!

Alpha Mule Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 FYI for the Cobra weave you will need about another 7 times the length of the finished article. That's for a single run, ***at least*** double that if you plan to go over it a second time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
