A circular sling with at least one floating ring used to lift and move objects, such as logs and poles. Preferably, two rings located at opposite ends of the circular sling are used to pull the circle taught and create a type of double strap sling. The present sling can be used in all well known lifting techniques that traditionally employ a single strap sling as well as additional techniques made possible by the present circular sling. Particular benefits are provided when the present sling is used in a new modified double basket lifting method. The sling can be made of a man made webbing and the rings are preferably made of a metal or metal alloy. Each ring has an associated stress ball that is a solid ball used in a simple stress test. When a ring is in good working condition the stress ball passes freely through the middle of the ring. When the sling has been over stressed the ring warps slightly inward and the stress ball can no longer pass through the middle of the ring.
