Need help with zip line idea
Need help with zip line idea
Have a pretty good size creek that runs through my property and need to create an easy way to get across. Cannot access from the other side. My land is landlocked and no interior road system with no way to get anything other than a four wheeler back to this creek. So that eliminates any type of telephone pole-bridge-rigging ideas. The bank are washed out to angle where they are just slick muck so a ladder wont do any good. I am leaning towards putting a zip line system in. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Any leads on where to buy the kits? Also since I would be crossing with a climber and gun we were thinking about welding some type of a chair/basket to sit in and just pull yourself across. I may be out in left field on this but I need some help quick!!!

Several kits online, fairly reasonable too.

I would not recommend zipping across with all your gear. Just make two guides and send your stuff across first

Re: Need help with zip line idea
Would require two zip lines - they work down hill only. How about an leaving an old john boat out there with a tied rope to pull across the creek quietly?

I agree with gunslinger. Or a canoe, any type of watercraft.

Well, I had a lot of money, but to the city went
I met too many good looking girls and that's where my money went
Yeah I know just where it went
No I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Re: Need help with zip line idea
There was a thread last year about this very thing. some dude had pics of his zipline, he could send a 4 wheeler across with it. It was impressive. Must have been over at the bullnoodle. Search it. I like the dozer idea thou.

just an idea... that's cost efficient. if your frequenting the area then leave it in the woods... gonna be gone for a while bring it to the house.

Re: Need help with zip line idea
We have a problem with this on my property. We found a burnt single wide trailer and just pulled the frame across. Makes for good walking and deer dragging and we have driven 4 wheelers across it. Doubt that would work for your situation.
