Re: pic: Telescoping Arm Warning

It seems to me that the easiest solution would be to triple or quadruple up your line. Effectively gives you a 4000 pound breaking limit instead of 1000.

We're using parachute cord (which has a breaking point of 500 pounds) and are quadrupling it. It's a lot easier to tie than spectra.
