DIY Makeshift Gear Sling

[jaape]

So I almost ordered a gear sling. Then I began thinking that do I really need one just for holding gear up. I usually carry an extra piece of cloth with me wherever I camp. A towel, a groundcloth, a sweater. Something extra I do not need inside a hammock.

I made two cords with the easiest knot I could think of to wrap fabric together and that could be easily loosened, which resulted in two long cords with hangmans knot in one end.

I then tried all kinds of items to make my gear sling from. They all worked just fine. Plain old plastic bag could easily hold the weight it needed to. I even made a sling out of my backpack and even that worked, it would roll over, but in a pinch it's better than nothing.

Easy, fast, free if you have cord laying around, can have multiple uses etc..

Weight of the cords: 10 grams

Nicely done. A simple solution making use of existing gear.
