I'm a single Monma and I bought this for my lil ones and as you're thinking, yes, I'm installing this MYSELF..!! 😳😳😳 you made this look so much easier than I expected. But Ima give it a try... I WISH YOU WERE MY NEIGHBOR..!!!!!! Anyways, YOURE A GOOD MAN/FATHER, they are lucky to have you sweetie. Thank you for sharing your great ingenuity...!!!!! You're a BOSS..!!!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻✔️✔️
Thank u for this great info! You actually make a lot of sense on not doing what instructions say cuz it’s a lot of garbage that doesn’t make sense. Your taking this a step ahead on making it safer for the kids! Great job and great video. Thank you from El Paso Tx.
What is the spec for the cable, and the added chain. Looking to build a zipline based cargo line with a zipline for the "rail" and a winch attached to the bucket to reel it back up the hill. I assume ill need a bigger cable. Thanks so much for the excellent explanation and thorough review of personal experience.
Brother that looks awesome, I'm thinking I must have missed a video, been out of town for a week and now I'm trying to get caught up so many videos..lol Take care
Thanks! Gotta build this Christmas eve evening after the kids go to bed, and just realized I'm going to need to extend a good 5-7 feet. Exact same model and setup.
Dude, you're legend. Love the video and the set up. Gonna get crackin' on mine tomorrow. Thanks for sharing, hope it's been a ball for the fam and the wall is under way.
Another Zip line from the tree house down! LOL Great explanation sir. Take care P.S. UB would prob have all that stuff to make one in his shop someplace already! Just sayin' lol
The pulley that rides on the able hits the cable clamp which is about 4 foot from the tree. This is why having the xtra few feet of rope at the end works well, if you go around the tree with the cable, hitting the tree is a problem.
is there a way to make any sort of 'homemade brake point' that is farther away from the termination tree? i have a retaining wall just below that tree and i'd ideally like to stop about 5 or 6 ft away. instead of relying on the cable clamps (which certainly wont be 6 ft away) can i put some sort of other clamp or something at the point i want to have the same effect?
Drill a hole in a piece of wood that has some eyebolt on it, thread the block of wood through the wood block before attaching it to the far end. Attach bungee cords to it is what a lot of people do but in that scenario you would need another tree near the end that you could attach the other end to. Some people drive a stake into the ground and use several bungee cords but it is trial and error as to where the stake goes
Adventure Parks sell a compression spring for braking I know it's an old question but I was looking into this right now and thought if someone else was looking into this it's nice to have options

That;s too cool. if my buddies and I had thought of something like that back in the '70s I'm sure I'd be dead now.
That's awesome Pop!!! But I must say... I thought for sure you were gonna ride that thing down at least once. :)
You’re gonna kill your tree if you don’t put anything to pad the wire

Best review I have seen.
Hi, great video. what are the ropes you have attached to the end of the line to stop the rider from hitting the tree?

Doing it in the dark? Worlds greatest father award to you sir! Maybe scope things out in the daylight hours, Merry Christmas!
Great video! I did a search on your channel to find the climbing wall video but didnt see it. Can you point me to it please?

Where is the spring break
them gotta be some happy kids for sure
Thanks my man.Those instructions would’ve been better in Chinese. I can’t understand any of that junk
how do your children stop without hitting the tree at the end of the ride? Is there a brake?

What type of knot did you use around the tree at the low end of the zipline?
It's been so long ago but probably a Boline knot
am interested in putting up a zip line in our place which lies at the foot of the Sierra Madre. May I know who to contact?
What is the size of cable?
kick ass man looks good;;\
meters???
Thank you!!!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Nice that you did that just for the kids. I don't think you had any fun at all. :)
