How to make a paracord rock sling

In this tutorial I show you how to make a simple rock sling that can be used for survival and entertainment purposes.
It is a simple design to remember and made in about a minute or two.

Remember that the sling is a weapon and treat it with the respect it deserves.

I've been making slings since I was 14 and I'm now 43. I've done them all. After watching this I feel like I just saw the discovery of fire. Simple. Ingenious. you can use your bootlace when you get to the creek.

Good guide to a simple sling. This is the design I teach people when they want to get started, so easy and so quick once you know what you're doing. Now I carry spare lengths of paracord in my pockets to makes slings if people want a go :P

Hey there! Thank you for making this video, i stumbled across it after a handful of videos that made it too complicated for me. I normally shoot slingshots but this seems even simpler, when it comes to building materials and ammo... and way more powerful. I did it right first time and then did it a second time to adjust the lenghts of everything to me. Simple, effective.. just as your tutorial. I will get more into paracord and knots and stuff, maybe i will manage to make a real pouch with some practice, but i think this will do the job for now. Thank you, Sir. Greetings from Germany. And all of you, have a nice day.

I think in purely survival terms this sling is the best one I found on YT so far because - if needed - you can make it in few minutes and start to hurl rocks and headshot them zombies trying to climb into your shleter and bite you ... but I proly digress. Great video tho ;)

Mine didn't seem to be a very effective sling... I found it really hard to not drop the rock. But it did help me solve the random challenge I gave myself and was obsessing with all morning: I had a large bottle of body wash, and wanted to lash it in such a way that there's no possible way for it to slip off the bottom because there just isn't enough slack in any direction no matter what. Even though it's rounded and kind of slippery. Arbitrary rules I invented: Need to be able to do it with one solid piece of cord 10 ft or less. Ideally, the simpler and more elegant the solution the better. Wracked my brains for a few hours trying to lash it like a package, then thinking I'd have to use like a weave or make at least a little bit of a net... But this did the trick perfectly. Only hard part is getting it to be exactly the right size. I'm sure this can be useful for a lot of other things too.

Great video, the hardest thing in the entire process was finding a piece of paracord :D

i took this and closed in the gaps with gorilla tape and it works great thanks for the simple tutorial

Thanks for the video. What an easy, simple method. As one who always tries to keep a length of paracord nearby and handy, I was very happy to find your video and easy to follow instructions. Out of all that I have found, your method is absolutely the fastest and simplest.

Thanks for the video! Now I got a rock sling for my expedition. The area I'm going through doesn't allow firearms, but a rock sling in a place full of billions of rocks is perfect for self defense. I need to practice with it for a while though so I can get good at using the sling.

Good simple sling there mate. Had me slinging random objects in my house within minutes, haha.

I have made several various styles of sling and somehow this simple one is my favorite, plus it is so easy to make with just one item needed

[alexblue]

Just made one can't wait to try it out

Congrats, you’ve gotten me into slinging at 14 years old

To secure the stone better, I weaved a short piece of cord through the 3 strands. It secures the stone to keep it from falling out until released.

I like this, very easy to do. First knot is a bowline. Flip it over and tie the second knot as a bowline around the loop of the first bowline. As a challenge for myself, I am learning to tie this with one hand only and not using the body or anything to trap one end of the line.

I had this lone shoelace hanging around and thought, "hey i could probably make a sling"

Thank you for this video!

[whodoib]

[VibrantMotion]
