Zip Line Information
I’ve had a few questions on where I got my zip line stuff.
Here’s what I got:
1. Petzl Tandem Speed Pulley 30113 – $ 79.95 from http://karstsports.com/, free shipping.
2. From ZipLineSupplies.com I ordered the following. Note that they appear to be a front for “Fehr” – http://www.fehr.com, and you could probably order directly from them too.
| 1 | 1/4″ x 250 ft 7×19 Cable |
$64.27 |
| 12 | 1/4″ Wire Rope Clip Galvanized |
$9.60 |
| 1 | 5/8″ x 6″ Eyebolt Galvanized |
$5.06 |
| 1 | 5/8″ x 15″ Eyebolt Galvanized |
$11.20 |
| 4 | 1/4″ Thimble Galvanized |
$0.96 |
| 1 | 3/4″ x 12″ E/J Turnbuckle Galv. |
$20.00 |
| Subtotal: | $111.09 | |
| Shipping: | $44.01* | |
| Tax: | $9.44 | |
| Total: | $164.54 | |
So, $245 for a lot of fun. The “speed” version of the pulley probably wasn’t necessary, as the thing goes damn fast.
A good resource for setting up zip lines is available at: http://www.outdoorfunstore.com/zipline.asp — they also sell zip line kits, but are rather expensive.

My kids will thank you some day.
