SLACKLINING IS INHERENTLY DANGEROUS. Learn the proper method of use for all tools and accessories. NEVER TRUST YOUR LIFE TO ANY PRODUCT ON THIS WEBSITE. No product on this website is designed to be used for highline. MISUSE OF THE PRODUCTS SOLD ON THIS WEBSITE COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. Danger exists even with proper training and use. NEVER OVER TIGHTEN LINES OR OVER STRESS ANCHORS. OVER TIGHTENING CAN CAUSE SLACKLINE SYSTEM FAILURE. A slackline system is only as strong as its weakest link.

The sewn slacker-hitch has two opposing loops on one end  (double loop end) and one loop on the other. To tie the slacker-hitch around a tree, first pad the tree to protect it and the nylon. Locate the double loop end of the slacker-hitch line. Wrap the tree with the rest of the line once, threading through your slackline loop or heavy-duty sewn loop and pull the whole line through the very end loop of the double loop end.

Double Loop End

Pull this first wrap tight making sure that the line sits flat all the way around the tree. Now wrap the tree tightly in the opposite direction keeping the slacker-hitch line from twisting. Continue around the tree in this direction three times, threading the slacker-hitch line through the loop of what you are securing each and every wrap. Be careful not to bury the second loop of the double loop end. Tie off the end of the slacker-hitch line to this second loop with three half hitches maintaining as much tension as possible on all the wraps of the slacker-hitch line.

To Summarize:
The slacker-hitch line is wrapped around the tree once in one direction then three times in the opposite direction with every wrap going through the loop of what ever you are securing. Tie off  with three half hitches.

To Untie:
This slacker- hitch line can be safely untied under tension. Untie the half hitches and slowly start unwrapping the tree. At some point the tension in the system will start to pull on the line. Keep it under control and let the tension out.
