World's Hardest World Record - Full Documentary of Lapporten, Sweden 2.1km Long Highline

[@HowNOT2]

We have another video showing the California record that was 861m long or half a mile in Yosemite. That required 5 days just to get the line across! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGOmlWCgiLSVrqs

It must have been an incredible project to be part of. I miss those days dearly...

[@doka-l7v]

I came here from Tom Scott's newsletter and this is incredible! I've never been into the sport but this documentary was so well done I watched the entire thing. It was fascinating seeing all the work that goes on behind the scenes. Great job, everybody!

[@Ch00chCharlie]

Thank you for giving so many of us a chance to be a part of this. Even if only to sponsor a small amount. A soft shackle worth went a long way!

[@nicholasgallanis7539]

The next time you all do this sort of thing, bring thermal imaging. Would be really interesting to see what kinds of temps the equipment is being exposed to!

This is such a big step up in production quality Ryan! It's beautiful and really really honest. The importance of safe and sound rigging is really what I bring from this. I have seen Lapporten many times but never imagined you could walk a line across before this.. Great job. Looking forward to the movie on SVT!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@anonymousbosch9265]

I’m a lineman and I wish I was involved in something like this as there’s a few ways to make this easier. Pulleys and pork chop line clamps and there’s a lot of knots that aren’t appropriate for climbing but work well for pulling. That being said I have zero experience in slack line or rappelling. I very much respect the improvisation and adapting of the group

[@Fabianwew]

@@dickJohnsonpeter They're all anchor points because they're working on a pile of boulders, not bedrock.

I live in northern Sweden, and I can just say that the amount of luck you would need to get that type of weather, ANYWHERE in the mountain regions of northern Sweden, is out of this world!

[@iamhere5902]

Absolutly mind boggling, thats just insane! The amount of planing and the timing is crazy! To watch you guys rock this projekt with all the struggles you went through, had a great inpact on how I persive those long distance riggs. Thanks for sharing it in such an honest and transparent way. Great job!

[@MP-bx3uj]

I love watching your videos. I’m a climber and I’ve never seen high lining other than your channel, so I learn a lot from you and I really enjoy your vibe. You’re very lucky to be surrounded by so many great people and exploring so many different things. Wishing you lots of luck in your channel.

[@middle-agedclimber]

Same here. It all looks like an incredible adventure.

[@buckmanriver]

I just sent $5 your way. This was a great episode. By far my favorite one this year. The story behind the rig was so epic. Hopefully, everyone who watches this will match my donation so that you can create more films like this!

[@HowNOT2]

Thank you Buck!

[@buckmanriver]

@@HowNOT2 You are welcome! On another note, I can not figure out why this film is sub-10k views. The two carabiner film has 1.1m and it is so basic. This film has epic storytelling and a world-record Highline. It is better than many films I have seen at Real Rock. Hopefully, it starts getting shared more in the outdoor community so the view count will increase.

[@prismvideomaps442]

So Awesome Ryan. Congrats on the project, and to everyone who sent! The animations were fun to make for this one!

[@Magnetic_Spaceman]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've never done anything like high lining, but the amount of insight I've gained from this channel about rigging and gear has been invaluable!

[@foihdzas]

What am inspiring story Ryan. It’s been amazing watching this channel evolve. I came here for the break tests, as a climber I enjoy seeing limits of the gear. I slackline here and there, but I can see now how high lining is just as exciting at alpine climbing. You’re really out there…

Video was so awesome, without you saying that you had tired to do a couple of segments and giving up. I work in logistical support, and was having so much respect for your efforts. Was no need to attempt to perform the feat like the other professionals.

[@HowNOT2]

I think it helps to show a "normal highliner's" capability to show that what these guys are doing is not normal. I don't feel bad about myself for it, I go for the rigging!

[@lepsycho3691]

Congratulation! I never considered the rigging process when watching those highline videos! Thank you for making this, I was really interesting!

[@moonlightlake4718]

That was crazy amazing also did you find out what was up with that helicopter that went under it cause you said you requested a no fly zone where you rigged? Or did I just miss that

[@timonix2]

This. Wtf

[@MrSmith-rk4jq]

forreals, need an answer on this. I feel like that pilot should lose their license (if the no fly zone was officially put in place as they expected)

[@woodennecktie]

come on, " pilot should loose his licence" welcome to the real world . Nobody was aware of what was going on , pilots can also say "this project is dangerous for flying " i'm pretty sure they never knew in what danger they escaped from ..

[@jimmyoverly3512]

@@woodennecktie I won't speak for Sweden, but in the US Temporary Flight Restrictions (or TFRs) are a very real thing and you will absolutely get reprimanded for flying through one. You're an idiot who doesn't know what they're talking about.

[@13snarf]

@@woodennecktie If they called in a no fly zone that's up to the pilot to adhear to it. So when you said the pilot probably never knew about it, well its their duty to know about it. That could have been lethal to everyone on board plus anyone on the line. Very reckless on the pilots part.

After looking at the part about the helicopter near miss, maybe you guys should attach bright flashing strobes to the backup webbing so air traffic that decides to ignore the NOTAM will see the strobes.

[@bernhard8540]

For the friction setup with the pipes you basically built a "jail break" 😊💚 and yeah we have filled the porta-wrap with ice cubes to keep it cooled down because it was getting so hot from the drag of the rope😊💚 some jailbreaks have the ability to put ice in the back as well but most people dont realize the back of most porta-wraps can open or are hollow so you can pack them with ice

[@nicksharp7972]

The part about nearly losing a hand on a tensioned line I really can connect with. When towing a 500ton boat with a 5000hp 150 ton boat I had to do a little fancy work with a tow bit (basically a T shaped post you put wraps of line onto to create friction). I was manning the line (2 inch Amsteel blue) and the captain of the boat I was on could not hear me to shift to neutral and kept pulling out the line thru the bit. The neatly stacked slack behind me was rapidly flailing as it was being paid out so rapidly and I was in danger of being caught in the middle of it all. Fortunately I was able to whip a few extra wraps on the bit from about 10 foot away and slow the pay out speed before I was maimed. Extremely scary to deal with such tension in a dynamic environment such as an ocean. I've spent my whole life around rope sports and maratime line work and would hesitate to make the long pulls y'all did in this video. Kudos to all involved and I'm glad everyone stayed safe.

[@RSam-Sky]

What about binoculars, or better, a spotting scope with tripod?

[@TheArmyKnifeNut]

Just saw a short about Redbull beating this record and I was more than a little disappointed, but proud that this team pulled it off the way they did... it took a multimillion dollar company known for their crazy stunts to out do you guys.

[@satanaz]

@26:25 why are the people on top of el captain small? is there a height limit for entrance or something?

[@stevengill1736]

Wow!! I thought that crew that highlined the world trade center in NY was something. The planning was interesting to watch, and the fact that lowering the line was every bit as hard - A HUGE amount of energy in that line! Thanks to all of you for pushing the envelope of human accomplishment.. Cheers!

[@atomic7680]

Very nice documentary

[@plebpunk]

Love the bike brake!

[@dragade101]

Is 2.1km the amount of material used or just the distance, say by a laser line? There looks to be significant sag because the slackline is dynamic and unable to take infinite tension

[@HowNOT2]

That’s a good question. Shorter lines it is irrelevant but on these bigger ones I guess there would be a noticeable difference since we count it as the laser shows, not how much webbing is in the air.

[@markchristiansen4827]

Feels like a dumb question but is there a reason binoculars/telescope couldn't be used to keep track of the walkers in the middle?

[@rombergo]

Absolutely a possibility. We did have a butterfly watching guy show up on the first walking day and we borrowed his binoculars for a while, but Quirin would still just be a tiny dot for most of the line. With a telescope probably a better view. Definitely worth considering for the next project.

[@brendonwest-m1n]
