➜➜This was the first time I used DOUBLE WRAPPED 1/8" or 3.2mm soft shackles double wrapped as connections for my segmented highlines. We show you how to make them, how we install them and the entire rigging process start to finish. A must watch for anyone rigging highlines at any lengths. Thank you Steve and Cheryll Glotfelty (https://www.instagram.com/nvslacker/) for a great trip and Henry Adams (https://www.instagram.com/henrytheone1/) and Jewels (https://www.instagram.com/unit._.of._.energy/) for crushing.

➜➜Measurements: 43" of 4mm Amsteel can make a 8.5" open soft shackle which is perfect for double wrapping 25mm (1") webbing with padded loops. Our tests when I got home ranged from 34kn to 49kn. Sk99Max is 40% stronger than what I tested and will be tested to add to our future break test video on 4mm softies and you can find that high quality dyneema at https://www.caveexploration.org/gear/4mm-d12-max-99-dyneema-marlow.
