Ground Cable/Zip Line

[Black Hand]

you have to put stops on most cable runs. even if you use trees there has to be stops on the cable so your dog doesn't wrap itself around a tree. but since it's low to the ground you might have to do it a different way cuz u aren't using pulleys. on te Wildside yard videos the Pete dog was on a ground cable between two axels.

i don't nor do i condone it. But i meet a guy along time ago that bent rebar into to a little bit wider then a u shape and put a o ring in the middle and beat both sides into the ground and left just enough up just for the o ring to slide one enough rebar for the dog to run his circle. This was some years ago. They have yet to fail him. And he has had some BULLDOGS on it before. Like i said i don't recommend it or do I do it. But i have seen it done with success. BTW they were the inch round rebars and pretty deep in the ground as well.

if on the ground the cable has to be low enough so the ground moves the chain, or the O rings off the same spot. If it runs on the same spot it will cut the link in half or wear the cable down, which ever gives up first. EWO

You just need to smash the car axle shafts into the dirt. When the cable is strung, it will be pulled tight with a truck, and then the last axle shaft pounded while it is under some tension. You don't want a bunch of sag in the cable.
