How long of a webbing can you tension up with this system ?
That accent, you're from the Netherlands? Since I'm from europe, I'll be buying my primitive slack through you guys. Thanks for the video.
Yep, well recognised! Daan is indeed from the Netherlands :-) Thanks for your support!
Thx for this good video, with your description rigging was easy. But the second chainlock you put in at min 4 to build up the multiplier does not provide enough friction (at least with the brand new pink tube) it just slips. I tryed the full chainlock wich of course worked but has to be opend to push back again. I ended up with a clove hitch in the hangover, wich is easy to open and provides enough friction. Are there any drawbacks of using the clove hitch instead of the chainlock.
Did you use a sandblasted chainlock? Because this is the kind of chainlock we normally use for it and we normally don't see any slippage with it. Clove hitch is definitely a good solution if the chainlock method does not work - just the alignment of the hangover is not as good as with the chainlock method.
thx! @@SlacktivityCh I use the green chainlock, wich is provided in the actual primitiv slackline set. But as the clove hitch is OK, I‘ ll use this one.
Can you high line with a primitive tensioning system?
You shouldn't. Safety standards in highlining are different. Also such a system is clearly less practical for highlining compared to weblocks combined with a hangover-pulley system.
0:50 what is the word in English for 2 ?
Wow I realise a ratchet is bad for the webbing but watching this I'm so thankful for ratchets to save all that work!
Well, mostly there is nothing wrong with ratchets - specially if you use a softRelease instead of hitting the ratchet open. But the ratchet has its limitations - specially when trying to rig longer or stretchier lines they simply don't do their job anymore.
It's faster, if someone deosn't explain that detailed. You can also use the line itself to make an anker. And the amplifier is for longer lines necessary, but depending on the strain not for lines under 30m.
Love the ellington pulley!
Much fun at sports!
All in all a good explanation, but I don't like it when the slings are so tight around the tree. This creates a lot of force for the tree and the sling. You can avoid this, if you leave the sling so long that it creates a angle smaller 45°. In this video with this distance, maybe the force is not so big, but not necessary for the tree. Also people see this way of putting slings around the tree and use it in longlineing, jumplineing and for highlining. Here it can become super dangerous. Please take care and inform yourself.👍
Unlike roundslings/spansets, our tree sling has a much higher elongation. So when being pulled under tension the angle will open up preventing the huge forces you mentioned. In this video the angle is big because the forces are low. If putting the adjustable tree sling tight it will stay much nicer on the tree pro. If you put high forces, the angle will easily come to under 60°. And if you use a 45° or 60° angle doesn't make a big difference anymore when it comes to forces.
@@SlacktivityChI didn't know that these slings have a stretch. How much is it?
Maybe you can notice this in the video? because as I mentioned before, maybe the people are not aware how much force is here in your rigging and how much is it in other (worst scenario: jumpline) setups? The danger I feel here is, they see it here, they do it everywhere and every time. Even with standard industrial slings (1t purple, for example).
@@paulschweissbrenner When highlining the slings stand at an angle of about 90° when they have been pulled tight while rigging. This at a standing tension of about 2kN. This after relaxation. So the forces in the slings are about 40% higher. And the angle will decrease under higher forces. And for the industrial sling: The probability is small to hit exactly the right length of sling to make it a really bad angle. But of course it can still happen - but this is in the described in the manuals of round slings...
