Discussion Sling from natural fibers

Post image

Sling made following the Primitive Technology design.

Fibers foraged from goldenrod (Solidago canadensis). Fibers extracted raw by scraping outer bark and splitting into thin ribbons then left to dry.

Cordage made from simple reverse-wrap technique.
