Quick Answer
Yes, there is a recommended way to carry extra slings in the field, which is to store them in a dry and accessible location, such as a pouch or pocket, to prevent damage and ensure easy retrieval when needed.
Storing Extra Slings
When carrying extra slings in the field, it’s essential to store them in a dry location to prevent damage from moisture. A good option is to store them in a pouch or pocket that can be easily accessed when needed. This can be a dedicated pouch attached to your belt or a pocket on your hunting vest. Consider storing them in a ziplock bag or a waterproof pouch to keep them dry.
Carrying Capacity
For most hunting situations, carrying 2-3 extra slings is sufficient, depending on the length and type of hunt. If you’re hunting for an extended period or in a high-activity environment, consider carrying 4-5 extra slings. This will ensure you have a spare sling in case your primary sling fails or gets damaged.
Attaching Extra Slings
To make it easy to access your extra slings, consider attaching them to your belt or hunting vest using a carabiner or a snap hook. This will allow you to quickly release and attach the sling as needed. Make sure to secure the extra slings tightly to prevent them from getting tangled or lost during the hunt.
