Some flying for kits will supply a turnbuckle to tension your zip line, this is
considered sloppy rigging and bad practice, as turnbuckles can come
undone as your pulley travels along the wire. Your zip line may drop to the
ground.
All of our FOX IN A BOX kits are supplied with a SIMPLIFIED WINCH
SYSTEM. It will give you a 3:1 mechanical advantage.
The 'tree huggers' are designed to protect your trees, from the rubbing of the wire, but more
importantly to prevent ringbarking the tree.
The anchor sling at the finish end or zip line wire at the start fits neatly into the lowest groove cut
into the wooden blocks.
You will need to raise the zip line into position at the start end, then secure it around your tree or
pole. This is a simple process but the wire rope weighs 380 grams per meter, so this can get a bit
heavy for us mortals.
DO YOU NEED TREE HUGGERS ?
Each tree hugger kit contains:
6 x wooden blocks
1 x 3.2 Meter cam strap for easy installation.
