Ratchet needed for slackline

[beezey]

I'm a zipline guide and I work with items such as a tension ratchet often but I can't fucking find just a slackline ratchet anywhere. anyone know where they are hidden. I get webbing very cheap so I'm just looking for the ratchet

I've always seen it done as a compound pulley between a bunch of caribiners, no ratchet needed

Ya I know, I would use that set up if I wasn't 5'2, Its extremely difficult because you ahve to make them so much taller because there will be more slack. I need mine taught and low. Especially with the nerve damage to my pelvis/right hip Its hard to step up on it that high and painful

Is there not supposed to be clack in the line in slacklining? you can't hand tighten it to the desired slackerage?

just get a regular big ratchet (the ones they use to secure big loads such as cars) and add spacers to make it suitable for smaller webbing....

you can find the big ratchets in every decent DIY/car store and you can be creative and find out someting that can act as a spacer yourself....

join the slacklining cult? I know nomenstevens posted a really good buying guide in there if my memory is correct
