[@BinoH]

Wow, thank you Joe! Take care!

[@brentcarlson3652]

Behind the back shot for the win - first try! Thank you for detailed description on how to use a throw weight!

[@BinoH]

Nice you were able to do that. That is hard for me.

[@sebvaughan6149]

Done my first chainsaw course and I want to learn as much about climbing as possible, Thankyou sir it's people like you that help out aspiring future climbers, there's so much information on your channel I can learn from,I have dexlexia and I only understand your teaching, Inspirational truly.

[@BinoH]

So nice of you, Thank you!

[@efo1358]

Your a Master Arborist. I’m respectful of the good! 👍

[@BinoH]

I'm not a Master yet but I have master a few things.

[@efo1358]

👍🙏❤️👌, I want my Master Arborist license and you just sparked my educational hours of knowledge on paper! 🙄👊❤️! I’m respectful of the conversation! 🙏❤️👊. I may start a longshoreman job at the Oakland Port! 🤞🤧🤙❤️🦦

[@BinoH]

@@efo1358 Nice, Good luck!

[@Aldotsuki]

Another informative video from bino.thanks for helping us.

[@BinoH]

So nice of you, thank you!

[@michaeldeng4387]

Exactly what I need to know❤

[@BinoH]

Thank you!

[@WilliamParmley]

Good instruction! Yeah, that "twisting your arm" -- I am so bad at that. I have to really concentrate or my throw will go way left (I'm right handed). Next time I'll have to pay attention and see if the problem is really with the way I swing my arm, or if I'm rotating my wrist. Thanks!

[@BinoH]

You're welcome!

[@doncook3584]

Love learning from you. Big ol thumbs up 👍

[@BinoH]

Thank you!

[@efo1358]

Drones can bring the line up? I’m not lazy, but it’s an advantage to improve! I’m old school! 👍😉❤️

[@BinoH]

Yes I've seen it done on very tall Mexican Fan Palms.

[@soulmedicine]

Use a lawn dart if you can find one . They work amazing

[@kevinkc3onohelijeepworld953]

Great Techniques showed here 😉

[@BinoH]

Thank you!

[@kevinkc3onohelijeepworld953]

@@BinoH thank you for sharing the knowledge. I use cradle method and 95% Do the reverse launch if I throw by hand. the pvc air cannon is so accurate I rarely find myself hand launching. Would love to see some of your air cannon launching techniques ☺️ I find if I lay my throw line out in 25’ rows, I find it feeds better and less drag on the line ☺️

[@BinoH]

@@kevinkc3onohelijeepworld953 Nice, I don't own an air cannon but I've used it several times. I didn't do so well the one I used had a lever you turn and when I moved the lever I would pull the shot.

[@kevinkc3onohelijeepworld953]

@@BinoH Interesting 🤔 I built mine from Pvc and used a 2.5” ball-valve on my design it’s works well once I figured out which way to turn the valve. I don’t use super high pressure max 80 psi and can launch a 16oz throw clear over the huge 80-100’ monster maples here in eastern Pa.

[@dankotos61]

That was another good video good job

[@BinoH]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@judsonkimble]

Awesome video, Bino! Thanks!

[@BinoH]

You're welcome!

[@blipp3521]

Brilliant thanks... can I ask what weight the bag you like to use?

[@BinoH]

12oz

[@jamesbond-qs2ff]

If your in a talk pine, a 16 Oz, because the 12 will not come down because of the bark..

[@arboristBlairGlenn]

At 69 years of age, my shoulders just can’t manage a high toss without pain. I truly love my air powered APTA. With a bit of practice, I can shoot through a tight spot with enough power to knock small brush out of the way. I have the Big Shot as well but this air cannon is much better for me. I can adjust the height with the pressure gauge. Arborist Blair Glenn (There is a video😊)

[@BinoH]

I've tried that APTA only a couple of time and was not very successful because when I pulled the lever I pulled the shot. At work we have the Big Shot I do a lot better with that but I rigged it with a pulley and a quick release so I can aim better. Thanks for sharing!

[@neilfpv]

Hi Bino. I'm not an arborist. I would like to buy a throwline so I can use it to rock or shake a branch of a tree if in case my drone gets stuck. For an arborist, where does a throwline become very useful? I've only seen videos on how to throw them. Thank you.

[@BinoH]

Sometimes to install a friction saver and maybe to save a rope or throw bag.

[@neilfpv]

@@BinoH oh gotcha! Thanks a lot!

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

I use the bight of line with the 1 hand method. Good to up to 40'. But I need to try the pendulum between the legs to see if I can expand my range.

[@BinoH]

Nice, let me know how it goes!

[@rewardlawnmaintenance]

What’s a good size weight ball for beginners

[@BinoH]

I use about a 12oz if it's too light it may get stuck.

[@philosborn1840]

Hi Bino H, 50’ throw is impressive. I’m still low and slow, lol. Can I ask you was there ever a time you had to leave string in a tree?😂 🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@BinoH]

Thank you! I have gotten my though bag stuck but have rescued it.

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

I always have 2 shot-bags with me cuz of branches that the bag gets wrapped around. Then I throw another line up I stash this throwline that is a different color around but I don't like it as much as the green Dynaglide. That line is shorter than my main line but it works in a pinch when u need to get a climbing rope up there.

[@lw216316]

I get rc airplanes out of trees for our rc airplane club - I started with no experience and mostly self taught - now I want to get serious so I'm watching videos like this - thank you ! Do hardware stores like Home Depot sell stuff like this or will I have to order from speciality companies ? Are there poles that would work and where can I get one ?

[@BinoH]

an Arborist supply company would be one of the better places to buy from.

[@lw216316]

thank you@@BinoH

[@rdrx4]

hello mr. bino😃i am happy to see your video

[@BinoH]

Thank you!

@@BinoH you're very welcome👍👌

[@MrDeleoco]

Is there a brand or source where you get your equipment... Maybe you have. Video Link with that subject already?

[@BinoH]

I buy most of my gear from Bishop company. bishco.com/

[@jamesbond-qs2ff]

Bartlett arborist supply is a great company, with great service, plus free shipping over$100.00. Ask for a catalog.. You will NOT find a better place to shop.

[@chuaneesheng8131]

good climb begin with throwline... 😎

[@BinoH]

Thank you!

[@joshk9482]

Would it work if you threw it like a football?

[@BinoH]

I can always throw higher when I throw under handed. It may work if you have a strong arm.

[@medicalterm2710]

@BinoH when do you use a throw line vs climbing up with spurs?

[@BinoH]

If I'm removing is when I would use spurs, If I'm trimming I'll be climbing.

[@DavidWilliams-wr4wb]

am i the only one who has had to go to walmart and get kids tube docks and a box of 12g pheasant loads because everybody’s throw bag was busted??😂😂

[@BinoH]

If it works in a pinch it's worth it.

[@DavidWilliams-wr4wb]

@ time is money and i can’t throw a 20 mil line far lol

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

The problem I run into from time to time is I’ll put too much force on the throw and it will go over the limb and then the momentum will cause it to keep going until it wraps it over the limb and it gets stuck

[@BinoH]

That is so frustrating and then you have to climb to get it.

[@soulmedicine]

Use a clay pigeon thrower

[@BinoH]

Have you tried it?

[@soulmedicine]

@@BinoH just a theory I have. But what does work good is a lawn dart . If you can find one .

[@elmoreglidingclub3030]

I clicked on this for one reason: the title that said that I’m doing it wrong. I absolutely HATE that arrogant way to try to get views. Why insult folks who you want to watch your video?? Dislike.
