When You Need to Survive on a Budget.
How to Set Up a Slackline. Before slackline setup can begin, the necessary materials must be obtained. There are four major categories of items required to construct a slackline; anchor lines to go around the trees, carabiners and other connectors to hold the line together, towels for tree protection, and the main section of the line that is walked on. The setup that I personally use consists of the following • Two anchors made from 15 feet of 1" webbing water-knotted together (more details on these are in the coming steps) • Four climbing-grade carabiners and two climbing-grade rappel rings • Two towels • 50 feet of 1" webbing used for the main section of the line that is walked on I use this setup because it is easy to construct/tear down/use in general. Also, it has a cheap initial cost (everything listed above can be bought for around $60; I reused old towels and did not include them in the cost estimate). The next step in the process is selecting a place to slackline.
