1", mil spec(not climb spec unless its all you can get a hold of) in as long a piece as you can afford.
Or just get the kit with the slackline brothers pulleys . They are good people, and its the best product out there. Almost all the highlines we have set up have used these pulleys as the basis of our tightening system

I used to use 50 or 60 feet of 1" tubular rigged with a 3:1 on OP or BD ovals.
Simple, cheap, and easy. Sometimes you'd need two people to get enough force on it though.

You can buy a similar setup from a climbing shop for less than $100.

1" and definitely more than 30' if you are gonna set it up with a 3:1. Don't buy any of the kits with pulleys, they add way too much weight to the line. I have 80' feet with 2 10' lengths for anchors. Get 2 chain links so you can eliminate the knots... supposedly stronger than knots but doesn't really matter for this purpose. Just makes things way easier. I have 6 BD ovals just cus Im weak and need the leverage or whatever you call it.
I like this video... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18qbgwCn2ZA"]YouTube- How to Set up a Slackline[/ame]
and no im not going to make it work... just copy and paste it cus Im bad at the internets.Man, skiing is the easy part.

Some people prefer mil-spec but it's just that, preference.Last edited by cmeriptahoe; 03-25-2010 at 02:47 PM.
