Did you know that every knots tied into that kind of webbing, weakens the slackline by as much as 70%. A knot-free line, using steel-links, would be ideal; especially if you are changing lengths often. :) happy slacking

did that guy just say cambium layer?

great video...do you find that you still need to re-tighten the line every now and again? if not, maybe i'll start setting mine up like that....if so, instead of wrapping the webbing around the tree and whatnot you can just tie three half hitches right up next to the biners after you've tightened it, that way its easier to untie when its time to tighten the line again.

edit--by "clove hitch" i mean "figure eight on a bight or butterfly hitch"

[akary]

the way he clips the carabiner on the passive end of the line multiplies the tension around the tree like a pulley----in stead of just clipping the carabiner around the line, make a clove hitch and clip into that. this is adjustable unlike and simpler than a separate piece of webbing and reduces the stress on the tree.

How do you loosen it?

Great video. Learned a lot. I have a ratchet style line, but i think now after waatching your dvd i'll go buy supplies to make a "primitive" line like this. Thanks

I want the soundtrack! Who is it in the background?

you seem to be very experienced but i believe that you looked at a style and tried it on your own. knot at th 4/5th you used a larks head where a clove hitch would have been a better choice. its easier to get out. and the last step of creating a pulley set up if you wrap it so you're always in between the webbing you just laid down and the last one it'' create enough friction that you don't need to try it off. and one person can cinch it down.
