    don't tighten it too much, a little free sag is good. don't install on dead trees, and don't use a sling end because it will kill them. ( that chokes the nutrient flow through the cambium ) instead; use a large auger bit to drill clean through a living tree ( same size as your cable ) string your cable through the hole you drilled in the tree, and take it down, at an angle, to an earth anchor set in concrete in the ground.

    • @FunsizedAdventures
      @FunsizedAdventures Месяц назад

      Great tips! I’ve talked about most of these in other videos, although I’ve never tried the drill through method. I usually just use 5 or 6 1’ long 2x4s placed vertically between the trunk and the cable to prevent ringing the tree and instead spread the pressure out vertically.

    Don't use high magnification unless you want to split a double star, and to look at the Moon, or planets. Even the biggest telescope on Earth can't magnify any star but the Sun to make it bigger. So why to use a telescope for stargazing? Because it collects much more light than human eyes, and you can see MORE stars, galaxies, and nebulae. The problem is that this telescope has a really bad low magnification eyepiece included, while the mirror isn't good for high magnification, and the tripod isn't sturdy, so I wouldn't recommend it, but if you already have one, a quality low magnification 32mm eyepiece can make experience somewhat better.

    First guy was definitely NOT ok... but hopefully this will help people design a better backyard zipline. I just had this discussion with another family member when they had a 15 foot drop over about 100 ft and i told them it was a terrible idea, even ran the physics calcs on estimated speed. Still they didnt listen, and one hit the tree, another flipped and landed in her head and probably should have gone to the ER. I hope this will save some people some major injuries.

    • @FunsizedAdventures
      @FunsizedAdventures 2 месяца назад

      That’s the goal! Backyard ziplines are very safe if installed properly. I just set up a 100’ one for an upcoming video and the manufacturer instructions called for an 8’ drop. I set it up like that but after a few test runs I adjusted it up the tree trunk at the end to a 6’ drop and that was better. Having young kids I always err on the side of it being slower. I can only imagine what a 15’ drop would do!
