Is the ultra sling ultra?

I like them a lot, way better than whoopies, way faster than dead eyes, just a wee bit less adjustability compared to dead eyes. Really doesn’t make much difference to me if the block or ring is hanging 3 inches lower than a perfectly snugged deadeye.
Dead simple to make too.
 
I like them. Super fast to install. Can be a little slack at times but I find that negligible for most applications. When those situations arrive I get a dead eye and cow hitch it then. Problem is they require a lot of material to make. Not really a big deal.
 
I agree. It takes about 20 ft of material to make a 8 or 9 ft sling. But that's not a problem. Easy to make. Quick and easy to install. I still keep plenty of dead eye slings but the ultra is my go to sling.
