HOWTO: use a line locker on a slackline

UPDATE: here's a pull-test showing why you need to make sure the ring is forged: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld99duhaPDw

Adam, does it matter which end of the webbing leaving the line locker is the "load strand"?

[adamburtle]

@Mee0tchy ... either is fine. The bottom strand at 1:00 (not in my hand) will usually only be about a foot or so long, assuming this is one end you are attaching to an anchor. Accidentally deleted someone else's question about this (SORRY!). You can load either strand, but it looks nicer when the top strand is loaded

Brilliant idea with the chain link. Thanks for the tip

Very helpful! Thanks!

the chain link idea works like a charm! not only does it strengthen the line but it makes set-up and tare-down way faster and cleaner... thanks adam!
