zipline for kids

[robinia]

I set this zipline up for my kids yesterday. It's nothing really new or innovative, basically a plain speedline setup, but it worked really well. Lots of fun!

That was great. You completely 180'ed my bad mood with that.
Its all about the kids.
Great job!

Lucky kids, I had to jump from trees into a snow pile to get a thrill as a kid.

Nice zipline!

I think the top hole in the Petzl tandem is intended for the brake line/haul back.

That was great. What kind of harness is that on the two year old? I got my boy a petzl qoutsi (sp). but it is to big so he hnags akward in it.

It just fits all the way snugged up.

KentuckySawyer: you're right about the tandem. I had 2 limbs to work with and the top one was much stronger than the other lower one so the haul back had to be used below and the zipline above on the limb that would take the heavier load. Still worked well!

Thanks for all the feedback fellas!

Thanks Rob! It is in my price range also and looks like it will fit for many years to come.
