Set-Up a Slackline

Step 2 Anchors

The anchors attach the line to the tree or whatever you are slack-lining in between.

so, once you have the webbing, you need to cut of TWO ten foot sections (make sure to burn the ends, so the webbing won't fray). these will be the anchors.

Now, tie a water knot on both ends of the ten foot sections to make a big loop.

you can see how to tie a figure water Here

Just for clarification, could you add more photos? This does not look like a figure eight, and the one on the next page looks to me to be more like a girth hitch than a clove hitch. More photos would be excellent, but this looks great, I am definetly going to try it at camp.

ok, well, a figure 8 looks funny in webing, but you shouldn't use it. use a water knot in your anchors also, that is a mistake, that is a girth hitch on the next page. they work the same.

i am fairly sure that this is a critical load bearing "sport" if that is the case this should be a double figure 8 or figure 8 bend according to the website you referenced. i use them ALOT when repelling.

this knot should be a water knot follow through not a figure water, with your knot when the ends are pulled on it opens the knot up, this makes it much weaker
