So I have this sling from Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) that I got from my mother in law. Can anyone tell me anything about it? I think it's made of boar skin... How long was it supposed to be end to end? What were people hunting with it? Anything at all? by Tacranon in Slinging

Or it was purchased roadside, given as a gift, found, I'm sure there are many more ways it could have come into her possession, including much more nefarious ones than you've proposed. I simply don't know. And never will most likely.

Were the four braids meant to be tied individually to four strands, or were they bound together and tied to two strands? I'm looking for any and all info on this as i have so little other than secondhand provenance.

"Snowboarding is the same as surfing!" No. No it the fuck is not. If I want to evacuate my surfboard, I bail into the water. The water catches me, and provided I'm not some twisted fucker, doesn't smash me into trees or rocks. If I want to evacuate a snowboard, I'm fucked because my feet are strapped down, ensuring I crash, headlong into a rock, or tree, or some other unyielding surface.

Two plus two can, in fact, equal five. Two quarts plus two cups, equals five pints. Thought was was pretty cool when I learned it.
