Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Your tip about tying the strings with smaller string is exactly the kinda tip i needed, Attempting to make my first string and was dreading managing 3 or 5 sets of 15ft of tangling mess. Thanks for this! very informative video.

By golly, you are a brilliant young man. I'm enjoying watching your videos and getting ideas like this bag.

Epic!🎉

Thank you. I learned so much and currently, I am working on my own cloak :)

Maybe put a screw in the tabletop to anchor the bulldog clip in the middle. Great effort! Not an easy topic to unravel 😅

I like your videos

Very comprehensive and well-made video - thank you for creating it!

With this tutorial I was abe to make my first ever sling and it works very well, thank you so much

Well thought out video, with useful info! A few decades ago, I worked as a Derrickman on an old drilling rig for oil & gas; analog gauges, brake handle, etc.. I used a cowboy riding duster (link below to a simlar one) when it rained, because a riding duster has a slit down the back, so I could wrap the lower parts of the duster around my legs, then put on my safety harness (used as a last resort, in case of a fall from the monkey board). My wife used to treat it for me, so it was fully rainproof. The pros and cons that you mentioned are what I experienced. In my case, the fact that I could feel the cold through the coat wasn't too bad, because in the state of Oklahoma, it rains a ton during summer when it's hot, and also, I would be working for 12 hours straight, sometimes, tripping pipe into the hole or pulling pipe out of the hole. Because of the summer heat and because of stead activity for such a long time increasing my body temp., I appreciated the cold effect! Wool works well in winter--I still wear a pair of wool gloves under my work gloves during winter and I have wool base layers to wear under my work clothes, as a field engineer--but during summer I want to be able to regulate my body temperature to cool down sometimes. The heaviness of the coat was as you describe, but I was a young man, with roughneck experience prior to climbing derricks, so carrying the weight didn't phase me. When I backpack--mostly in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California--I do wear wool or modern blends from REI--esp. base layers--and I do consider weight. Kudos on a well done video! www.outbacktrading.com/products/2056-stockman-duster-coat?variant=12735512150069&currency=USD&campaign_id=21214193503&ad_id=&Google+-+Pmax+-+Remarketing&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5ea1BhC6ARIsAEOG5pzZ1vhfV18C4IScVsPiI-95db5a9kU8HRNCi3N1Y6yK8v2h7O70tdkaAsjNEALw_wcB&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD1BzpLfD4nMpMS8D9OT4qHqfmNr1

I am gonna make a similar bag like this. I hope you see this commenr because I see you have not touched on your channel is almost a year. You are a great youtuber. One of the best I have ever seen and I have been on youtube for more than ten years. A legend. I am making this bag because I am turning away from computers towards engineering and DIY and most things I buy are designed to break. I am looking forward to this important equipment and I won't forget who helped along the way ❤

You made some great videos. Did you stop or do you have a new channel?

thank you for the throughout experimentation, documentation and sharing with the results !

Was interested in slings and just found your videos. Fantastic tutorial! I’ve got my first sling completed based on your instructions!

When can we expect another amazing video from you?

Thanks again.

The most delightfully awkward, and sincere! May the wind fill your wings.

Missing your videos. We hope you are well and still trekking away in the wilds.

This is easily the best tutorial for making a sling (when one doesn’t want to use historical materials / techniques) that I have seen. The first one that explained why I should bother braiding it! Great work - my son and I are going to have a lot of fun making them.

Part 2 coming soon?? 🙂

Question then a comment. Q: Is your durometer for Shore A or Shore D? C: Heat in physics is not the same as temperature, it means the amount of energy being transfered, so in your equation that you marked through, the original definition was correct, but so was your correction.

👏👏👏

Are you still away scouting the mountains?

That was very informative thanks. I'm outdoorsy and do have large cloaks that double as shelters.

Tysm!! Very easy to follow and this has helped me LOADS for my shield maiden cosplay <3

These are good videos and you have a good speaking voice

Yes!!

the "mage robe" way is so usefull! my cloak fits perfectly!

That is super neat! I'm doing it!

Im wondering if i could use this method with 5 braid instead of 3

I'm a hiker, and I definitely love a good hiking stick. The bit about holding higher up to go down an incline is spot on. I find that if I need to hop off of something while going downhill, it's really useful to lower a walking stick and place it more or less where I want to land. It means that before my feet even leave the ground, I've already established at least a little stability. Also good to test the landing spot if there's tall grass or other plants to make the footing questionable.

Why not just use a steam machine?..

Great bag ! Evrbody here sat tonight and watched your video 👍🙋‍♂️ We decided to make a couple bags ourselves. Next we'll watch your library of videos and see if we get more ideas thank you.

I was searching for how to make a bag like this when your video got recommended. So, thank you for explaining the process!

thanks Lil girl

@lodoDwarvenRanger how long should I make my strands for a 27in sling

Missing your videos!

Thank you for that!

I just made my Ruana cloak after watching your videos this morning.. Thank you so much for all the wonderful information ℹ️

Found your video today!! So awesome. Keep those videos coming. I love your content, and very excited to see the rest of your videos

Great video Iodo! That bag looks so much more lore/period correct than the waxed linen haversack I've been using I think I will have to build one of these next lol

I have spent hours to find a way to make an affordable cloak... Thank you!

Iodo, no longer in service?

So, I don't know if you've gotten to the actual throwing rocks (or tennis balls, my Dogs favorites) yet. If not, please understand that the first day or 3 (I'm about 2 weeks into learning now) thing might go in any direction, even backwards. So I'd suggest that until you have it a bit under control, something like an empty baseball field would be a good place to start learning.

1:54 that is a great way (and my preferred way) to make those continous stitches, but it is also called a one needle saddle stitch, or a double/ reversed running stitch. I certainly see why you described it how you did though. And both the saddle stitch and double running stitch are more durable than a regular machine stitch.

Have just viewed this video with my granddaughter (nearly 12), and this looks like our August craft so she can wear it in September. she thinks you look cool. thanks for the idea and example.

This was so cool! You could have easily just enjoyed it all by yourself and not take the time to film and edit, yet you shared and allowed everybody to experience it and that's wonderful! Thank You!

Awesome video! My sling didn't turn out quite as nice as yours, mainly because the twine I'm using is old, and has been out in the rain and other elements for a long time. Can't wait to take it out to try it out!

Your shelter tarp? Why not just use the cloak? 🙃 All joking aside, I found this very helpful. Thank you!

I know htis is an old video, but what would your suggestion be for the method if one were making tablet weaving cards. Do you still have these samples? One year later is one harder than the other? Did they gain or lose any flexibility? Would be interesting to know =)
