To be safe, you are going to have to spend more money than that... Remember that the force pulling down is equal to the mass of the object (you) multiplied by the distance from the support point... So a support that would hold you on a 40' zipline may not hold you on a 100' zipline...

you may have to spend more then 20 bucks...but try telephone poles that should hold and i'm pretty sure thats what they used on "little people big world"
or you can try railroad ties.
good luck with the zip line!
