Step 1: Clip your carabiner Clip a carabiner to an overhead knot on a bite. Wrap this around the first tree and clip your carabiner. Feed the line out to the second tree.
Step 2: Wrap a sling Wrap a sling around the second tree. Clip the sling together with two carabiners.
Step 3: Tie a clove hitch Tie a clove hitch and clip in the last two carabiners.
Step 4: Thread the line Thread the line between the carabiners top to top and bottom to bottom. This creates a simple pulley system that we use to help tighten the line.
Step 5: Tension the line Tension the line with at least one more person.
Step 6: Tie two half hitches Finish by tying two or more half hitches.
Step 7: Start walking Step up and start walking! When first starting, it helps to hold onto someone.
TIP: Looking at something stationary helps with balance.
Step 8: Try walking backwards When you get better, you can start walking backwards. You can jump onto the line and you can jump on a line. No matter what you do, keep practicing and have fun.
