Arborist Skills: Throwline Basics

Watch Jake Carufel demonstrate throw-line tips during TCI EXPO ’21 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Being organized and systematic in your approach to using a throw line will keep tangles, and your frustration, to a minimum. You want a system that makes it quick and easy to make repeated throws into a tree because, let’s face it, it’s pretty rare to hit your exact tie-in point the first time, every time. So a tangle-free line in a clean storage container will assure you can make those repeated throws in the shortest amount of time.
Jake Carufel is a climber with Canopy Climber Tree Care in Burtchville, Michigan.

What is the highest you can use a throw line ? 50, 60 or more feet ? what if you use the 2 pole sling shot?

Regarding the throwline catching everything - the first three days I tried that without looking at any web pages or videos I was afraid I'd run out of swear words.
