That is character, not damage and anyway your supposed to whip it off now and then to winch freshly killed deer of the ground or to help fashion a makeshift marquee or similar.

Threadomancy!
I often get PMs about this thread and after the last one I thought that these images of the sling in use might be useful for some.

Hello to all,
I’m new on the forum and looking in to all the threads. A wonderfull forum.
I prefer a neck/ shoulder hanging carry for my knife around the “camp” with tasks like cooking, prepping, little woodwork,… and canoeing. I find it also a more subtle carrying option overall…
I was looking for instructions for setting up the Ray Mears Woodlore Neck sheath with Paracord and firesteel as it is a sturdier carry than the “Mors-style” carry.
I can probably improvise a bit, but the proper instructions should help out.
The older thread has “non working” links.
Anyone with the instructions? Or even a background for Ray Mears’ choice in this kind of knife sheath?
Cheers to all,
Mickey from across The Pond, Belgium.

Well —> when googling .. the first post was dismissed it seems…. So I have the instructions, some pictures would be nice. And offcourse a backstory is always fun…
It’s tarp ridgeline. I have tried thinner paracord, but it’s no where near as comfortable. With just a thin shirt, the thinner stuff can cut into you and be annoying.

Hi Mickey, and welcome to the forum.
Sandbender was last seen on this forum on May 5, 2017, so he might not answer you right away.
However......the original post was also posted on the old British Blades forum (I really miss that forum !!). I have a pdf file of the post from BB, including photos and everything in the original first post.
Send me a PM with your email address, and I can send you the pdf file if you want?
Ray Mears speak of this kind of carry in one of the old "Extreme Survival" videos. The one on New Zealand I think (?)

Hi there, lurker here.
I can't work out how to send PMs, would there be any chance you could post or send a copy of the pdf instructions to myself?
Cheers, K.

You will have to initiate PM communications. New members need five approved posts before they can start PM conversations, but they can reply when someone else sends to them.
Thanks for helping out here

Yeah, when he demonstrates by dropping himself in the water. So he got his knife and firesteel always with him .
Some time ago i made a different style of Baldric sling.
Baldrick 1 by Mark Aspell, on Flickr
Kangeroo leather.
12 strand flat braid over the shoulder turning into round braid and then slowly decreasing to 8 strand at the sheath.
the strands are then worked into the 4 turks head knots on the sheath .
Good fun to do
