do you want to know how to derig a line in under 2 minutes, with a real example this time check it
out on this episode of how not to highline.
Hi I'm Ryan Jenks and welcome to Yosemite. We just established a new 84 meter line near TAFT Point and we named it
"Your Mom" and we are about to derig "Your Mom" and we're gonna show you how to
do it with the soft release on the static side so you can see start to
finish in a real-life scenario so my first step would be to undo all the
backups we have the tail backed up for the webbing we have the tail backed up
for the soft release... so I'm going to undo all that.
We tied our tail off really well. Real life example and all the flaws that come with it. There we go
munter mules tying off your tails with Munter mules I'm trying to emphasize how
important that is they're trying to practice it when I'm not on camera okay
so the tail of the soft release is unclipped before I undo any of that I'm
gonna make sure the backup rope webbing this is a screamer that we put on here
because it's only 84 metres long and this is lion so because it doesn't have
a lot of stretch this will make it so in theory you won't get hurt if you took a
backup fall anyway I'm gonna take this soft shackle off and I'm gonna clip it to me
that will go to that. This is a slack Ino of vortex so this can be removable but
because it's not that far and the hike arounds kind of annoying we're just
going to clip it to that so my tagline is we kept this organized when we pulled the
line over originally I'm gonna make sure it doesn't go over my Daisy
because that would just make a nylon saw. Always please be clipped in if you're
near a cliff edge... anyways you clip it to the pure, the pure shackle on my pure lock,
and my tail is here here for now okay you guys ready okay we're soft releasing
I mean I'm doing the backups takes longer than doing the rest of it but the
point of this is that they don't have to do weird stuff on that side to give me
enough slack to undo all of this instead of it going this way and then that way
we're only gonna send it that way so this is going to be heavy this was
everybody's concern. "Is the tag line strong enough to hold the weight of the line"
Well I've got quite a bit of soft release here to extend it before I have
to put any serious weight on it so I don't want to hang on to this with my
hands I'm going to put a carabiner right there and another one just for ease of
use I'm gonna do a Munter clip it to my carabiner and that'll hold
the weight so this is under two minutes if you're not explaining how to do it
We have a dynamometer on that side, we have less than one killing agent on the line
right now just for perspective. There we go. Now my sewing loop on my soft release
is on this side so I don't have to undo anything okay I feel the weight on the
tag line I'm gonna give it a little bit more slack double-checking my work and
I'm done! oh, oh, that's nice look two fingers. All right!
Your going to go slow on "Your mom"?
understandably..... and I wanted more friction I could create Z drags am I
going like this maybe going like that again and it becomes even easier you can
go back and forth munters 2 munters this paracord holds 500 ish pounds this
thing with tension was only 200 pounds you'll notice over there they don't have
to be near the clip edge so um I feel like it's a lot safer than hanging over
the edge if you don't have to. Rigging and deriging is way more dangerous than
the actual act of highlining. This also allows multiple people to help pull the
line over because they can just grab the anchor and pull it backwards and do a
lot of derigging that way, they don't have to unclip pins they don't have to
do anything before pulling now they did undo the backups.... hold on! hold on! dang!
Technical Difficulties. Fuck your mom's being a bitch right now
got it I might cut that part out I might not I
haven't decided yet when I say derigging in under two
minutes that means the process starts in under two... under two minutes that
doesn't mean the line gets all the way over there in two minutes
so please please don't troll me on technicalities you gotta admit this is
pretty awesome okay what's more fun than rigging highlines... derigging highlines! Pull it tight!
derigging highlines can be risky therefore you shouldn't highline. Woo... that's going to get stuck.
Hey, thanks for watching but don't be an idiot and go rig your first Highline
by yourself after watching some guy on YouTube show you how to do it. There are
too many slackline groups to find friends or festivals to get exposure to
highlines before you go out and try the stuff on your own. If you like watching
these videos please consider supporting me on patreon.com, this video
specifically obviously doesn't cost a lot but the other videos it does, so if you
could support me with one dollar per episode
it really helps and then you're not supporting unless I'm creating content
be sure to go to the ChurchofSlacklife.com and share your slackline
testimony we also have a youtube channel specifically devoted to that and it has
other people's slackline testimonies just to get people stoked on the slack
life don't worry we're not a cult we don't have special kool-aid or private
jets though that would be nice we're just here to spread the Stoke if
you're wondering where to make slackline friends go to slackademics.com and see
the slackline groups that kim organized that are from facebook and there's over
1,300 of them so you should be able to find a slackliner near you but until
you get the chance to go highlighting with someone who knows what they're
doing check out our other videos and don't
