Back on the Line

So it turns out that a 5 year old five dollar set of ratchet straps suspended tightly between two trees isn’t quite sturdy enough to support the weight of a 200+ pound man.  It is however sufficient to carry 50-60lb human males, even concurrently.  Tomorrow I’ll stop at Home Depot to pick up a rig rated for 10,000 lbs. That should just about do it.  And for $13.96 it will be worth a try.  If not I may have to save up for a slackline made for just that purpose but at $70+ for a starter set it will be a tough pill to swallow.
