550 sling?

[Paladin]

Just a thought. If you're planning on using this creation, maybe you should continue on a swivel. Maybe start another one on a swivel? I'm just trying to help.

i live the weave but if your just trying to use a single rope or cord try a clove hitch

I'll probably just use more paracord for the attachment points.

You mean just tie a clove hitch to the rifle with a single strand of cord as the sling?
I've done that, its uncomfortable and there isn't much paracord there. The point of this is because I need a sling and I like having lots of 550 on me.

That's a slatts rescue belt. YouTube user TIAT has a good video on it.

Thanks, will do. I've had to deconstruct it a little here and there to fix stuff that didn't look right, it'll be nice to have a video to go off of.

Now that I'm not browsing from my phone-

After some trial and error, I figured it out.
4 wraps in-between the previous 4 and underneath the cord for the loop inside, and on the 4th you bring it through the loop in the previous wrap.

It's called the slatts rescue belt. It is a pretty simple weave and is simple to unravel if you need to do so. The tricky part is ending it. look up slatts rescue belt tutorials.

I get it now. Pretty cool. This should be moved to the survival section.

Well I had to start over cause I did it wrong, but I got it.
Took me a couple hours and the 50' length of cord turned into about 36" (unstretched) with a 4 loop pattern. Its pretty elastic and does stretch out under load. Its a bit smaller than I'd hoped but it fits well slung over one shoulder, and it fits when slung across my chest with a t-shirt but I think it's a bit too small to work with with my cold weather gear on.
Threw it on the M38. Gonna get some 100' lengths and use maybe 65' for the next couple... gonna put one on each of my rifles.
