So I recently bought a couple of slings as a little present to myself. I have seen some of my climbing partners wrap each sling so it is in a neat knot. Does anyone know what I am talking about and if so tell me how to do it. I know this is confusing, but I can't think of a way to make it more clear. Thanks
Ian

1) Stretch sling out with one finger through each end of the sling.
2) Twist the sling up by rotating one end clockwise and the other end counterclockwise.
3) Bring the two ends you have your fingers through together - as you do this, the sling will naturally want to coil/twist into a "spiral".
4) Put the two ends your fingers are through on a biner.
5) Sit back and enjoy the simple pleasure of a job well done.

On runner lengths I do a:
Pass the biner through another and clip the sling loop (2 strands) attached to the passed through biner, giving me a quickdraw length. I don't know if this has a name but you need to be sure your second etc. don't screw it up.
On double runners I do the same thing, then twist this long quickdraw then clip one biner to another, reducing the overall length.
Long slings I may fold over a few times and make an overhand knot, or daisychain them.

A trad draw (hehe)
In reply to: On double runners I do the same thing, then twist this long quickdraw then clip one biner to another, reducing the overall length.
Pass one biner through the other, just like your first example, then do the same thing again. It will hang the same as your "trad" draw.

How long of a sling are you buying?

Here's how I do it: I first do a few loops of it, then twist it around a few times and finally clip a carabiner through it... ...as it's not perhaps easy to figure out the thing from the description above, I'll post some images to illustrate it tomorrow.

no, not like that.
Recently, I saw someone "braid" a sling. It's rather quick and easy. Describing it isn't so easy.
it's like, you feed a loop through a loop, through a loop...duh. haha, I really don't know how else to say it. anybody know what I'm talking about???when it's done, the sling looks like a short braid and you just clip both ends to a biner. I do this with my 120cm slings.

It's called a daisy chain and it is what is pictured.

Thanks for the post guys. I guess I wasn't very clear on my intent though, the solutions you guys have given me seem to be for management while on a climb. I am just looking for a very clean way to store them while not climbing, preferably a way to store them without use of a biner.

Could it be like this?
This is the way I rack my prusik loops but I've never tried it with flat webbing.

actually, boymeetsrock was right...I was talking about a daisy chain. it looks a little different with a sling (flat) versus twine (round). but, I tied one when I got home and realized it was the same thing...just appears slightly different.
