I bought a zip line, help me make it awesome

Ooh, I like that idea. We have oodles of magpul PMAG boxes still. How's life up north?

I am more impressed with their company the further I get into the box

You haven't installed that sucker yet?

How am I supposed to go on my mostly-naked zipline run tomorrow if it's not even installed yet?!?!?!

Doing it now. Life threw a medical curveball and today is first day off in 9 days

All the pieces are in place. Just need to tension. I could do it with my hitch but I'll wait for a buddy later to be more efficient.

I'm not going to have time to build a launch platform before the party. I plan to use a pulley and pull the kids up from the low point. Adults will have the option to clip in from a latter :-)

Just great ... yet another project that I now have to do at the house! My wife will kill me, but I'll be a hero to my kids!

Heading to that zip line website right now!

Thats a good thing you guys put your clothes back on for the pic.

We were using 3 French (Petzl) harnesses. We figured they are keen on allowing rescue which is why they make good ones.

I'm wondering...

What is the best holster for zip-lining?

 

[Titanium_Frost]

Not appendix, that's for sure

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

I think ziplines and harnesses add 20lbs to images.

Mika pocket holsters work just fine!

First AND second armed traverses of the zip line. Woot.

And I went ahead and wore clothes due to all the women and children around. No need to make everyone throw up.

And so you can judge by scale - the woman holding the baby in the background is my wife. She's 6'1". The baby is just under 18 months old and you can see how much of her that he takes up - even with legs not extended fully. He's gonna be a tank. Oy Vey.
