Get it? Cause it's "Mini"? You know? Egh, whatever...

I made a post earlier about my take on Neandrthal's sling, and mentioned that I had made a small version. Well here it is!

The sling is about 24" long. It's made of microcord, and 1cm x 10cm leather strips. The cracker is made of heavy duty sewing thread that I reverse twisted.

It's a real "zippy" feeling sling, and it rolls up nice and small so you barely even know it's there!

I guess I forgot to take a picture of the two together, but if the "normal sized" Neandrthal sling rolls up to about the size of an average potato, then the Min-Neandrthal sling rolls up to about the size of two large grapes. So doing the math for the conversions, that comes to around a quarter-ish banana 🍌

Let me know what you think!

Earlier a user named Grumpypedant made a post about a sling they made using a tutorial from an awesome Czech called Neandrthal. I was curious so I checked out his YT and IG, and made my own!

I made my sling about 30" long, and I quite like it! It's simple, but just a bit more involved than a basic seatbelt sling, and it launches tennis balls like an absolute dream! The only major change I made was tying a series of Solomon Knots around the tag ends for the retention loop. It's rather comfy, and I may do this again for another sling someday!
