Is a package better than a tow strap + ratchet strap?
Probably looking for a 15m setup for use in some woodland.
50mm wide? Any recommendations? Ta

Max load only 4 tons though. 😀
Sorry.
There is quite a bit of good info on the maverick slacklines website if I remember correctly. Advice etc.
Thanks guys - something else to consider. I suspect that I maybe over thinking this a bit.

Good job its only for MrsJ then 😆
Just remember to be careful to spread the load on the trees so you don't damage the bark.
We have some business involvement with Maverick Slacklines ; great bunch of guys and their kit comes with a film which is a good starting point.

This one?
(Saw the full length one in the Banff festival last year. He's nuts.)
+1 for Maverick. Had mine a few years, gets regular outings and been spot on. No signs of wear and tear so far.
Stupid question time. What's the difference between a slack line kit and ratchet straps? Assuming both will need slings, mallions etc
Very little I think. Ratchet straps usually have hooks on the ends whereas slacklines tend to have loops from what I've seen.
My sister has a slackline package, which surprised me as my brother in law is a builder and militant recycler and won't buy anything if he can make it himself..
He would have definitely had ratchet straps etc lying around in his workshop so he must have spotted some advantage in buying a kit
There's actually a big difference between ratchets and hand tensioned lines. Once you get the hang of it you can really feel the weight of the ratchet making the line move "wrong". A ratchet line tends to be a lot tighter as well, which makes it very difference to walk on. I learnt on a ratchet strap then re-learnt on a 25 mm kit tensioned with karabiners, and I MUCH prefer to walk on the hand tensioned line. It's a bit more faff but I think nicer to walk on.
Thanks again all - I've gone for a kit and this one looks like good value

Should be able to have a play with it at the weekend.
Had it setup over the weekend for some family fun. Mrs J and junior love it. It offers a really good workout for core, stability and balance and should complement riding and Pilates (mrs j) well.
