I am slowly gathering the materials needed for a zip line. Right now I have about 300 feet of stainless 3/8" plasted coated cable and a couple of nice telephone poles waiting to be planted.

I can make a handle and pulley system pretty easy, but I am working on a way to get the handle back to the top of the stand and a good way to support such a heavy cable over a long distance (150 feet or so). I havent really researched a lot yet, as I doubt I will build the thing this year, but this thread will surely help a lot.
