Dude, this really is a game changer! Thank you Slack Inov, and thank you Ryan for hopefully making these sell way more than 1000 units.

Nothing better than a saturday morning Highlining video. Thanks for the awesome content!

Thank you so much for your videos. I am going through a very difficult time right now, but your videos are a welcome relief and help me immensely with my severe depression and anxiety.

This is actually incredible

That is the most beautiful come along I've ever seen, it is truly mechanical artistry. I must have one. Edit: at 4:30 is one of the best explanations of aluminum fatigue I've seen on youtube

29:07 - You can thread a rope through the hole at the end of the handle, make it a loop around your foot, and use it as a pedal to easier put all your weight on the handle. Else you wouldn't need that spring which brings the handle back up if you were to only use hands with that handle ;-)

Saw this about 2 months ago as an add on Instagram, couldn't justify the cost but seeing this vid, I'm all in!

Can't wait for the next episode! Great stuff!

Half ton chain hoist + Line Grip + soft release is still the absolute ideal rigging setup for me though. Totally minimalistic and light as well.

I recently bought my "long term" gear. Feather Pro w/ one sewn loop. Infinity tension system. Two spansets, two bow shackles, two 6mm BC soft shackles, and two tree protectors. Static Side Anchor: Tree Protection --> Spanset (bucket) --> Bow-side of shackle --> Shackle Pin --> BC Sewn Loop One question about the Tensioning side anchor: Tension Side Anchord: 40m Feather Pro Webbing

woah, this is incredible!

That purple sling is basically a standard polyester round sling. I use those at work for lifting. I'm not sure what a climbing equipment store charges but us cargo control has 10ft purple for $35.

Maybe tape the helper bar (hockey tape style) so to protect it and the Dino, also add more grip.

Love the content here! You guys are awesome! My favorite thing is that you pronounce your Ts. So that we know they are mountains, not mounnins.

Hello Ryan, I would like to get some parsec webbing and I would like to know what's you opinion, I don't want any recommendation if I should or not buy it. Only is if it has sharp edges at medium tension, if you has used as backup or main line in highline. Thanks!! I love all your videos about rigging highlines and science!

They do make 2" webbing on bulk rolls like 1000ft for industy and for those who make the webbings.

you look so happy

Have you done a test on a carabiner that has had cyclic loading on it? I have seen a lot of your videos, but don't think I have come across that one

It is a gorgeous piece of gear. And only 350 euros is a steal.

the longevity of the tension release spring and contact points of it makes me curious, aswell as the rubber. Though seems to be an elegant all in one solution

I’m thinking about using my static rope and my crevasse rescue kit because my line has sewn loops on both sides (big tow strap from my car) [not for highlining]

So will I ruin my tubular webbing with the INFINITY [39:39]!? I think you got over this problem pretty quickly... Is it because all the force is created at one side of the line (bottom side from the line = rubber side of the INFINITY "wheel") - in contrast to e.g. a linegrip, which pulls from both sides (top and bottom) of the line?

Very easier than before what I saw

Neat. "Cyclic loading is bad for Al" "These Al shackles are great"

Just ordered one - stoked to use it! Would you use a soft shackle/spanset through the anchor hole, or do you think the edges too sharp?

That is a fancy cumalong it looks bad ass. I use my normal cumalong all the time they are a useful ass tool.

It's not fatigue, it's work hardening. Also I recognize this design as a seimens comealong for trucking and shipping. The heck?

In 2008 we rigged a 110 foot line with a 3 carabiner primitive setup and like 14 people pulling we just wrapped the nylon around around a tree when we were done. Snapped it eventually but hey 🤷🏼‍♀️

"You can get more, ck ck, mechanical advantage..." 🤣 oh stick! Youre awesome. Thank you Ryan!

What's wrong with the pin in the back?

35:30 could you just use the load line in the lock and have the slack running underneath?

Nice, but the cost puts it way out of reach for a casual like me.

Hiya Ryan, you mention at some point that you don’t like weblocks with pins for soft release and to go check an other video out, i can’t find the reference, could you please expand. Cheers, Dom.

You're so good at pushing rope, a lot of experience I guess

Is the rad slacklines pulley usable for high lining? Like can you whip on it and such

A girth hitch or choking reduces to 75% but it should be marked on the tag.

so i’m in the process of building my own long line rig and i REALLY think this looks hot, but i still don’t know if it would be cheaper than a pulley system at 100m. so is this an amazing luxury at an increase in cost or just an ACTUAL miracle?

The infinity must have a limit on how much webbing it can store. If you rig a 100 meter highline on tubular, would it b able to store those 5 meter + of webbing? I couldn't find any info about it on their website. What do you recon would be the limit for thin (motom/ pinktube), medium (rubberband/type 18) and fat webbing (kill bill)?

do you have a good alternative to feather pro for a highline. the shop is closed and moving. preferably from spider, to save on shipping. THANKS!

Can you use a come along? Or a 2 ton winch with a few prusik hitch?

a couple of washers in the shackle will help

Would u use this on a highline for main? Edit: ha i looked it up, I gotta get me one of these

Doing tree work id use that all the time ecsept id need to buy a strap webing rope like you have i have one that pulls on 3strand rope for tree work

Is there a way to soft point with it? 🤔

I've been using hardware store webbing comealongs for years 😆

Its basically a fancy come along

you put it in the web lock wrong, there's a picture on the side of how the loop is supposed to sit and I think you missed a half rotation

Slack Snap one!

CMI rope jack? Anyone?

Oh, by 1 TN they mean 1 Ton, not 1 Terra-Newton. I thought that was kind of a lot.

I'd to se this kind of rachet but for trickline!

Why is this unlisted?

27:55 Brave

Incredible!!! But, Out-of-Stock... 🤔

So you reached 5.6kN at 23:10 with gear (the purple loop around the tree) which is only rated for 8kN and has a knot in it? Isn’t that probably really close to breaking it? And you are a relatively slim person and were only walking on it, not doing some crazy tricks.

So it's a ratchet with extra steps

at 21:48 you definitely didn't thread that in correctly

So it's a comealong

Rangers won't even let us put up hammocks.

Learn tensioning knots like you’d need to for alpin climbing.

It’s just a come along

Nutrients flows up a tree in the outside circumference of the tree only. The whole point of the sticks or pvc pipes is to prevent cutting of the circulation of the trees nutrients. If you apply too much force around the tree you can crush the nutrients delivery system and cause the tree to die from the spot you cut off circulation and up. That wrap around the tree is only preventing cutting off circulation by rubbing past that outer layer which would kill the tree. Imagine wrapping a rubber band around a finger many times and then repeating the same but periodically adding toothpicks or something before adding the rubber bands. and having to leave it on for a long time. In the first case you’ll finger would turn purple fast without circulation and the other would be fine for way longer because your not really cutting off circulation in a circular manner because the toothpicks are distributing the force along the length of your finger so blood can flow throughout the entire finger. Alright after writing this up I found a way to condense all this way more efficiently. Basically you don’t want the attachment point to act as a tourniquet for the tree. The black tree protection helps protect the tree against abrasive ringbarking or girdling of the tree but you should still really be adding a couple of sticks to let the tree breath and not strangle it just to decrease the stress you’re putting on the tree. Sometimes you won’t completely crush the capillaries but just deform them enough could make nutrients and other essential molecules to flow up and down the tree much more difficult.

22:46 Cheater!

Mah Design looks awful and makes me think that pulleys are a much better option.

i know this is old video but i wonder if good protection combined with a frequent tree used for highline anchor would strength train and make the tree stronger
