Slings can be checked at the beginning of the day, or god forbid, once a trip when you pack or rack up for the first time. If you're worried about knots coming undone, a double fisherman's is permamnent in tube webbing, but can be undone for rap stations with some work.
A 5' length of webbing seems just about right for tied a shoulder length sling. For the price of 2 or 3 fancy sewn slings, you could make a dozen tied slings.
