Sewn webbing slings have a long and successful performance history. They have been used in lots of applications and are solid workhorses. Worrying about thread or stitching stretching...huh? You gotta be kiddin' ???
Reminds me of The Worry Song by Monty Python
"I get so worried about
The baggage retrieval system they have at Heathrow"
I've taken short pieces of retired climbing lines and tied them into loops using double fisherman's knots and used them for rigging chokers. After doing some simple math to calculate the strength and considering that when I rig with them they work like draft horses. The only time I ever broke one was when I used them for ground dragging chunks and they came across a driveway or rock. |
