I'm planning to get into slacklining and I was wondering how important the biner would be in this (http://obergma.blogspot.com/...ackline-anchors.html) setup. Is there any issue with going webbing on webbing here?

Your link seems to be dead. There are lots of ways of rigging without carabiners at all, but there are always trade offs with any hardware substitution.

I can't get the link either. The biners will really help keep your line flat. Using knots kind of twist the line a little bit. o you just want to save some cash or do you have any issues with using biners?

Nevermind, I just saw a video on youtube on how to do the whole thing with one stretch of webbing and only 4 biners.

It's quite easy to set up a line with just webbing and only 2 biners, I couldn't see your link, but I think slacklining.com shows the cheapman's slackline setup where you only need 2.
