550 sling?

[mcantar18c]

I remember seeing a tutorial of how to make a sling out of paracord, and now that I'm sitting here with the paracord I can't quite remember how and I can't find the damn tutorial.
Its not the woven one that's in most of the youtube vids... it involves making a few loops then drawing another loop through them, and repeating.
Anybody know what I'm talking about or have any links?

Is a complex weave what you should be attempting on 3 days without sleep?

I've got some paracord, I should totally make one of these.

That's the woven one that seems to be in all of the videos I'm finding.
The one I'm thinking of, you wrap it 3 times (I think), then after the 3rd one you make a loop that you pull through the coil, then repeat. I'm pretty sure I got that part right, but I can't remember how you build off of it with the next 3 coils.

Check the date on the post I said that in
Got a full 4 and a half hours last night!

Haha yikes. That was a long time ago. I guess I'm not going to let you off the hook for that mishap in the other thread then.

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.

Uhhh, wut?

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.
