Thanks for making a great step-by-step video, and including tree protection! Lauren, you have mad balance skills!

Thanks for posting this! I just got a slackline for Christmas and this really simplified how to thread the line through the ratchet!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was using the mechanism in the wrong way. Great video 😊

Great video, however Wouldn’t those ratchets work the same as securing something onto a trailer or truck? Where the end of the line goes into and over that spool and come back out going in the exact opposite direction? Then you able to hold the line and end together while ratcheting in order for it not to bunch up in the spool. When it bunches up it decreases the balance of the tension and makes it a pain to release the tension when removing it.

This video focuses more on protecting the tree than protecting the human. You forgot to mention how to actually securely lock the ratchet so you don't fall off and break your ankles.

I don't know if I just don't understand, or if maybe my line is way too long but it will not tighten properly

Hey! That is Liberty Park isn't it? Awesome video, thank you. I did do it right my first time, I just didn't realize you could flip it to tighten it even more. Great tips.

Hey great video!
Whats the best quality/price slack line for a beginner ?

[renate]

Umh just a question. What if the short end of your slackline is so short that you can't even put it around a branch? I did get anchor slings with it tho

[andrewmahady]

How do you use the ratchet? I feel there some step I'm missing? I put it through, then start ratcheting it and nothing happens

Best display of the rachet threading that I've seen.

Thanks for nice instructions. You look like a cute squirrel!

[elventuresuk]

Please can you include an instruction at the end to lock the rachet? It is unsafe to leave it open!!

Why don’t u have steel carabiners at your store and ur making YouTube videos on slacklinkng.

[adcashmo]

My mistake: trees were too thick for the short end :/

[levidavis]

Hey. Call me an illiterate uncultured POS, but how TF do I even use a ratchet strap?

The worst video ever sucks at showing you how to set it up
