All you need to set up your own Slack line.

The kit comprises:

15 or 20m x 26mm high quality Nylon Tape (usually Mammut tape)
3 x high quality Oval Alloy Screwgate Karabiners
1 x Needle Sports "Line Locker" (makes it easier to set the line up and take it down).
2 x 3m Nylon Tape ("tree-slings")
Laminated instructions
Mesh stuffsack to keep it all in (mesh allows the tape to dry between uses)

We have been using these kits ourselves for several years.

NB: Handsome young slack line star not included!

25mm tape slackline kit designed by a famous exponent of the art, Heinz Zak.

Each kit contains two tree loops, two tree protectors, a 15kN ratchet device (NB the 10m Ratchet is much smaller than those in the longer kits) and a length of tape - all contained is a neat stowage bag. Please click the image to see each kit.

There is also an instruction book - this is in German but the illustrations are very clear.

Sorry - sold out until Spring 2010

Finding unique colors of electrical tape to mark your gear is tricky when there are only about four colours easily available. Then, when you actually get everything marked, the first time you head for Spain the adhesive walks and you get sticky muck all over your gear.

Rack Tags are a good solution. They are fast and easy to apply and have a superior adhesive that withstands temperatures from -40°C to 80°C. They are available in 10 bright colours with a special UV finish to protect the high gloss colour and they are made out of one of the highest abrasion resistant materials available which maintains its colour even when abraded. The rounded ends prevent peeling and the stickers are the perfect size for krabs, wires, cams etc.

Supplied in packs of 100 tags and available in 10 colours.

The wallet for people who hate wallets! An intriguing softish plastic securely fastening water resistant wallet designed to be small enough to go in front or back pocket and designed to hold four credit/ID cards and three folded banknotes. If the clear option is picked then the outmost card (eg a UK Driving license) can be seen (albeit hazily) through the plastic without opening the wallet. There is also a loop through which a cord could be fastened to hold it round the neck or clip it to a belt loop etc.

A large plastic box with a difference. This one has wheels on one end and an extendable handle on the other making moving it around when it's full of kit a doddle. It also has a handle either end for lifting, four internal hanging loops for racking kit and can be locked with two small padlocks (not supplied).

All in all rather better, sturdier and more secure and useful than you might pick up at B&Q which makes it worth the premium price.
