Adam Kappel came up with the awesome idea to build a zip line from his backyard to his neighbors front door. Michel Parisay (the neighbor) is along for the ride.

  • i wish you luck but can you make a video of it cus iwant to fund out what happened

  • New video will be coming soon.  We had some errors with our first location so we're using a new location now! Stay tuned!

  • Im wanting to build a zipline in my yard, about 300 foot long. But i dont know how to get the cable tight, and keep it from sagging too low. The actual process of tightening, and bolting down. Also im thinking of using 2 clothes line pullies, and connecting them together somehow to increase the load capability. Let me know how you mount the cable.

  • Bad idea to use 2 pulleys! Use one strong one! 2 of them will touch each other and get stuck. Believe me... not a good idea.

  • Well, we know what happened. With those cheap supplies and not knowing what they were doing, it did not work.

  • No second video. Well I guess they died. Tip: Never do anything half way that involves your life.

  • Does anyone knowhow much it caust?

  • what ever happened with the zipline?? did it work out?? please make another video answering this!! i want to make one !!

  • better off using rope

    sherrill arborist supply now has a recreation tree climbing section with zipline stuff.

    No offense, but the direction your headed seems dangerous.
