Hi. My cams are still good but the slings on them are knackered. Can I send them off to be replaced?
Thanks

Why not ask them - I 've contacted then before and they are very helpful. info@wildcountry.co.uk

Thanks. May just back them up then with some Prussia cord.

According to the first post in the thread linked above, Wild Country won't replace slings any more. The only way to get new slings sewn on would be to send them abroad, probably to the U.S.

Another option may be seen here:

They no longer do replacement service. I phoned them a while back.

Any idea where you get the shrink wrap tubing. Electrical supplier?

That isn't shrink wrap tubing in Chris Tan's photos, it's tubular nylon tape. The same stuff people used to use to tie their own slings - available off the reel by the meter at any decent climbing shop.

or look for the equivalent Beal 5.5mm cord (or even the 5mm pure dyneema if you are very careful knotting it).
