Best THROW LINE KNOTS for Throw Weights for Arborists & Tree Climbers

[@nate-408]

I like the slipped anchor hitch. Its definitely a great attachment method. I can definitely see the benefits of the extra security of the poachers loop for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, they are both great, but nothing beats the slipped anchor hitch! Thanks for being a public subscriber for one day! Be sure to check out my other more recent videos and work your way down!

Loving these 2knots ! I’ve been using the anchor hitch, for many years, never thought to use the slip report. I usually tie a slippery bowling for the last 10+ years that I could remember and now using the poacher a.k.a. fisherman not slippery isn’t head bonus to my sharing fellow tree people thanks for being awesome my friend Joe from California

[@Knot-orious]

That's awesome! I'm glad you learned some new trick and techniques from my video and I appreciate the compliments! Thanks very much!

My favorite is a slippery girth hitch minus the slippery part..so fast and easy.

[@Knot-orious]

Thanks for sharing! I believe when a girth hitch is loaded by a single strand that it's technically a Cow hitch, and another guy commented that he uses that as well. Good choice, apparently! =-D

[@chrisashton1082]

By gum you’re right! The only time I ever use a half hitch is when I attach two throw balls because the two rings together can loosen the cow. I need to make a 28oz throw ball lol.

[@Knot-orious]

@@chrisashton1082 Interesting! Haha, what would you use such a large throw ball for? Really abrasive bark? I've never needed more than a 16oz.

[@chrisashton1082]

@@Knot-orious I have not fun 🤩

[@kavemanthewoodbutcher]

The best is a simple cow hitch. Fast and easy to get the weight on and off, and not too aggravating when you have to do it half a hundred times.

[@Knot-orious]

A Cow hitch is a good one, too! Do you need to secure it with a half hitch or slipped half hitch? I'd be concerned it might slip when tied as is.

[@Nathan-uo9yf]

Handy simple knots, I’ll be using these to tie onto my bow can to pull bow up to hunting height.

[@Knot-orious]

That's a great idea! Yes, these knots can be used for tons of applications outside of attaching a throw line to a throw weight!

[@theatermusic87]

Personal preference, but nothing beats a girth hitched bowline especially with small diameter throwline... Especially in cold weather with frozen fingers... Easy on easy off, don't need to keep loops of throwline open while manipulating the end of the line AND not dropping the bag. And best of all, there are some throw bags out there (I think weaver made them) that have a super small d shapped ring that is a pain to tie onto with big fingers. When you're done with the throw bag, you can use the bowline to girth hitch to you climb line, add a couple half hitchs and pull your rope right into the tree, no messing with knots at all. I used the slipped anchor for years and will never go back, just be sure that your bowline has a loop big enough to pass the whole throw bag through easily and you'll never have a problem and it goes from having to tie it several times a day to a tie it a few times in a career knot.

[@Knot-orious]

That's a great suggestion! Thank you for sharing that with my community! A bowline would definitely be very easy to tie and untie! =-D

Where do we mail in the donations?

[@Knot-orious]

I just realized that my old donation method isn't working because I had to change my email address. You'd be the first person to donate lol Ever. If you email me at [e-mail], we can discuss online payment methods if you're serious about donating. I would be very grateful, but no pressure. Thanks for reaching out. I have to get a new link for donations setup on my homepage. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

[@Hcdav-s5y]

It takes you almost 12 minutes to show how to tie a knot on a throw weight? Are you kidding? Alright.

[@Knot-orious]

Two knots plus tons of discussion and useful information. A lot of people enjoy the discussion aspect of my videos. That's just my style. Sorry it doesn't appeal to you.

[@DEFENDERNZ]

In settings, speed the vid up to 1.5. Easy!

[@Knot-orious]

Haha, that's certainly one way to go about speeding things up.
