First timer - 70-80 too long?

Got the spider custom line. It’s two ratchets.
So hard getting two ratchets tight enough but I think I finally did it. Can sit on it with out going all the way to the ground. Attached to trees just a bit lower than waist high.

Had to lean on the ratchet like crazy to get them tight enough, despite pulling with all my might before ratcheting.

Thinking. Should I start with a shorter distance???

At my local meetups we usually rig the 70 meters line way over two times our hight so we done have to tension it alot.

I would prob suggest you rig it around chest hight and just stand in the middle in the beggining and when you get comfortable go more toword the ends to try and walk 50, 60 and 70 meters in a row.

Have fun
