Abstract: The carrying sling of the present invention comprises a length of flexible webbing in the form of a strap being twice folded back on itself to form first, second and third reaches between the first and second ends of the strap. The ends of the strap include apparatus that is adapted to interconnect with or wrap around an object to be carried. Each of the two folds is formed where the strap is trained through first and second slides that are either releasably or permanently connected to the terminal ends of the strap. Providing at least one of the reaches of the strap with means for adjusting its length adds further utility to the carrying strap.
