AVOID INSTALLING THE SLING ON SHARP EDGES THAT MIGHT
DAMAGE IT. WHETHER YOU ARE USING A POST, A TREE OR A STUMP, ALWAYS
INSTALL THE SLING NEAR THE
ANCHOR’S BASE.
USING A STUMP AS AN ANCHOR POINT MEANS PAYING SPECIAL
ATTENTION IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE SLING FROM SLIPPING OVER IT.
MAKE SURE THE ANCHOR POINT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO RESIST
THE PULL WITHOUT BREAKING OR BEING DAMAGED.
