PM sentOk ive got rings and figured out how long of webbing for 1 continuous belt. I can't seem to feed the strap without 1 end being inside the other wraps and the other being outside. Is this correct? Also if I purposely pull slack in one and then try to pull the rings apart,, the friction of webbing doesn't allow the loops to even out.. Guess I'm not seeing the advantage of this style right now. Even tried flipping the rings and running webbing through the big round portion, same effect. Help....

I just started one of these, https://saddlehunter.com/community/index.php?threads/slinging-webs-with-thread.37483/#post-516488. While not very scientific, to determine the length of the continuous belt I didn't cut any webbing off of my roll and fed it through the rings how I wanted the finished product to be. I then held it up to my backside as it would be when wearing the sling and adjusted the length until I got the rings to sit where I wanted them, for me the flat part of the D's are about even with the front of my hips.How did you determine length for the one continuous belt? I am interested in building one of these. How did you correct the issue with the webbing not sliding?

After you find the correct length just make sure you cut it off with enough excess to create a good overlap, I went with about six inches. I read somewhere that double the webbing width is sufficient but I wanted the extra security.
It also helps to use binder clips as described above when test fitting to hold everything together.
Hope this helps, best of luck to you.
Thanks for the help. I built a sling like you referenced and used tri-glides to find the most comfortable length. I wanted to try the more traditional Anderson design where the entire sling is one continuous loop. I guess I can start with twice the length of my individual loops.
Shot Thru,
The original Anderson design is constructed with two loops, not one continuous webbing loop. The two loops are formed as such. Loop one is for the top uppermost strap and the lower bottommost strap with Loop two being the two middle straps. The vertical ladders are then sewed to them to make the six inch wide panels. Each panel therefore is made up of one strap of each loop.
I have two Anderson slings and can confirm the routing is two separate loops. You can also look up the Anderson patent which shows the routing as well.
That is the cool part of diy, you can tweak it to the way you need and get it very comfortable for you. The picture is just to show the sections and skews the view, but both loops are identical length and need to be for that layout to work right.Got it. I put one together last night. I reduced the strap length to 73" to better fit me, 5'-8", 160#. It still seems a little big.
As long as I've been studying these and made a couple I did not realize that. Thats probably why mine is not too comphy.Here is the true Anderson style layout, hope this helps understand the separate parts of webbing via colors.
