| My first slackline overlooking the Pacific |
I've fumbled around on other folks' lines but decided that my own kit would make a great early Christmas present for myself (I try to get myself some toy every year to compliment the clothes and responsible adult things my loved ones give me (thanks loved ones!)).
Setting up a slackline requires a certain knowledge of ropes, carabiners, and pulleys of which I know only the basics. You have to put hundreds of pounds of tension on the line with only one person (hence the pulleys) and you need to make sure that everything doesn't suddenly snap loose (sending the metal bits flying at high speeds). With some help from my friends and the internet I've put together a set that I think can accomplish these two goals. I bought everything I needed at REI (printout below) and followed the instructions from this printout and this youtube video both produced by the guy at nwslackline.org.
I've taken it out twice, once to a beautiful park overlooking the ocean and once on the beach (strung up between two healthy palm trees) while it was raining.
