As for Tri-loading - we have done the force calculations and actual field tests with a dynamometer. Our line is meant to be set up low-tension, and simplicity (especially for introducing the sport to non-climbers/riggers/etc). A low tensioned garden line (close to the ground and 20-40 ft long) represents little to no danger even if it were to fail. Top Rope anchor failing is NOT AN OPTION, and so choices are a bit different. When setting up high, long or trick lines, I'd never tri-load...

Thanks for the comments. We very much agree with the idea and practice of tree wrapping (although there is very little evidence to suggest that trees are ever damaged by lines) and we do practice it during our retreats, workshops, and personal practice. We find it important as a visual indication of responsibility in the current climate of slackliner's trying to establish access. We encourage all our teachers to teach tree wrapping to their students as well.

Nice video. If you could please include tree wrapping and not triload your carabiners it would make you look much more knowledgeable as well as teach people the right way to do this. Even if you don't practice tree wrapping, doing so just for the videos will help out a lot. Thanks

Everyone is tri-loading biners, all it takes is 2 extra rap rings and one super short dynema sling and there's no more tri loading. On tight lines, it definitely worth doing it the rightway.

I always hear "there's not enough force for it to matter" who's done the tests?? Im a climer, when setting up anchors that will only hold body weight (top rope) i wouldn't tri load..,,definitely more forces on a slack line than most top rope setups

Curious on what you guys think of this.

I really like the minimalist setup here--that only two carabiners are used instead of the traditional four. Would you say there any notable pros or cons to these two different methods? Does using four carabiners make for a more solid z drag? The extra carabiner just seems unnecessary.
