Replicating an Anderson's Tree Sling

I have been getting my hardware from paragear as well. I have a very similar mod to a big buck sling that I did a few months ago but I haven't had time to take pics of. I have an idea to simplify the tree strap but I haven't got to sew it up and test it yet. That is one of the first fun projects on my list.

Did you ever do this project? If so, what should I search under to find it?
Thanks - I'm especially interested in the strap set up. I'm much more comfortable in the web now than when I started but still leaves something to be desired in the whole bridge/tether set up.
 
I'm very interested in making my own sling
Can Scott or someone post pictures of the directions so I can get a better understanding of how it works?
I tried searching online with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

No I am still rolling ideas around up there :!:
 
1. His has two sections. He usually sits as if they are one. He is very particular about having them line up properly. I haven't hunted out of one but based one how everything he does has a purpose I assume it is best to start this way.

My testing showed (3) 2" belts was adequate and 4 would probably be just right. Sounds like John is around that 3-4 belt width. The saddle I'm having sewn will be 8" wide.

Scott Jhicks54 fixed me up with a Anderson sling. I had some materials left over so I attempted my own.

I used three inch webbing for the sling an the hook up attachment strap is a replicated tree saddle. I think it is going to work.

How did you sew the continuous webbing loops for the seat and back support?
