 | Rigging highline safely with minimal gear | Ultimate Buying Guide 3 of 3
4. 07. 2018 14:15:38
The most expensive thing you will do slacklining/highlining is buy gear twice. In a perfect world you would buy gear that you can use for both slacklining and highlining. I present an option for an entire setup that would cost less than $1000 and you can do everything with and be able to add to it... |

 | Can fiber reinforced tape break your highlines | Slack Snap
29. 08. 2018 15:00:00
Fiber reinforced tape is great to tape your main line and backup together on a highline because it won't tear when it is windy or during whippers, but is it so strong that it can break your webbing? We tested fiber tape, duct tape, and climbing tape up to 16 layers thick on our break test machine a... |

About a year ago, we should 'automatic' equalization was a myth when using a sliding x for an anchor and that BFK anchors were random at best.
