It is!

Some of these concepts are a little tricky to relay via text, but here's a video that runs through the basics!

Essentially a one inch strap between two trees (or strong posts), tightened in a specific way with caribbeaners, so that it holds tension - and you walk on it! Or sit, jump, bounce, etc. it's like a bouncy tight rope (usually closer to the ground) There's a little hurdle to get over while you develop your stabilizing muscles, but very enjoyable once you can stay on the line! (Which takes just a few hours of practice for most)

I recommend YouTube for the knots/tightening. Everything can be bought at REI or on Amazon ( ~60' 1" tubular webbing + 4 standard climbing Caribbeaners)

If you buy some extra webbing, you can run a 'training wheels' line a few feet above your head and use it to keep yourself on the line until you can manage without.

Start low, and practice looking in front of you rather than at your feet. Good luck!

Got back on the slack line!

It's fun, ecellent for balance and overall health, great solo, and a setup runs about $60.

I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hobby!

Anecdotally: i got Google VPN free w my Google one sub, used it to pirate some movies. still got a warning from Comcast (for one of the star wars movies, iirc).

Went right back to Mullvlad. Speeds were better anyway.
