Throwline: Basic Setup | Arborist Essentials

[@bobswartout214]

Paint your stick bro. They will throw it away now that you said something

[@bobwiese6128]

[@Dave8972]

What is the stick for?

[@NonyaDamnbusiness]

Fascinating. Didn't know these things existed. Learning new things to get amateur radio wire antennas safely up into trees for temporary use.

[@thecode3fc]

Anybody else notice the Critter pop up @14:23. Just to the right of the walnut you stretched the line from. Just Popped up and Right back down. LOL

[@PA4KEV]

I am trying to get an antenna line up into a tree for amateur radio. The basics you taught and the equipment you show in this video really helped me. Thanks!

[@o00oZu1o00o]

Yes that was all very clear, and myself I learned 2 useful tricks. Now please... Do one on limbwalking!! both for horizontal and very long branches, thick canopy or sparse, and also covering limbwalking on nearly vertical limbs. Because your vids are super thorough, so we will get all the important stuff on this part of our job that is so crucial...

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

Check out the Climbing Arborist channel, and Richard Mumford, they both show in detail excellent limb walking and climbing.

[@hosocat1410]

Really appreciate how you cover the basics. I've learned a lot from your videos over the past year since I started climbing.

[@Toyotaamazon80series]

Outstanding Pat, the loops on opposite corners of the cube are for standing to assist opening and closing and pegging to the ground if it's windy.

[@bobswartout214]

Side note running daisy chain knot now our go to knot. I even tie it midline to hook on bobcat to pull with

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Nice!

[@JasonSmith-xo9qr]

Great system, thanks for your willingness to serve us bud. Your a valued asset to our culture.

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Thanks for the support brother! - Patrick

[@mvblitzyo]

More excellent content, just the other day I was informing a well seasoned climber ( 57 ) that the multiple dots he had in his old throw line should be stretched out and then why I showed him. He asked me if I ever do anything on KZbin. I have a few videos. Then I explain to him he should watch your channel. 😉👍🏼. Joe from California

[@markkent8436]

For stretching line I like using a marlin spike hitch, then when you pop the tube out, the hitch just falls apart.

[@nate-408]

Awesome explanation bud very efficient. Thanks for sharing.

[@tree2climb839]

Thanks for taking the time to put these videos out! Really handy tips!

[@erichailperin-lausch262]

I found this very helpful. Look forward to the other throw line videos coming!

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Yes sir! - Patrick

[@davyoh8986]

A thousand thank you's, when ever I am feeding the chipper, I will always keep in mind to save that special "stick" for my throwline kit.

[@TheGreyGhost_of43rd]

The old stick method also Works great on braking high test fishin line off a snag..

[@hamradiowithkevin]

Absolutely Excellent Video !

[@JesseStanchfield]

Thank you, just got my first throw line and bag and this helps. Another idea if you don't have 180' to staighten a line wrap it around some and pull both ends. Most folks have 90' somewhere 🤪

[@1cleandude]

Thanks for helping us with the very basics Patrick great video!! My throw line is still wrapped around a stick; I like the price however!

[@bobwiese6128]

Love it!! Must have a good stick... ✔️ TY 😊

[@TimberTrainer]

It's always neat to see how others set up their system. I use a throwing hook or handsaw scabbard for a handle. Keeping a stick makes a lot of sense, but wouldn't package as well for me. I'm using the Eclipse throwline storage, and the round shape is less stick friendly. I understand the frustration of finding a good handle. There's also a couple of neat stick tricks to isolate crotches.

[@TheGreyGhost_of43rd]

💯

[@carlcox7332]

Gonna have to get some true throwline. I still dont trust myself enough so I'm using the braided nylon stringline from home depot. If I get it stuck in a tree I can still pop it and I'm not out much money since its only around 9$ for 250ft. Plus it doesnt have the memory of the tenex string but I have been thinking about making the jump the better I get at throwing my weight

[@saeklin]

As a fellow dude, you don't need to explain the value of a good stick. We understand.

[@ricardoarrais1643]

For those who are careless; for those who are a little careful. Good job Patrick !

[@cbr600rrturbo]

I like how methodical your teaching is thanks playa

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Thanks brother, appreciate it! - Patrick

[@adlaisayers6111]

Can’t wait for more throw line videos! Hardly any good quality ones on KZbin!

[@paulwatterson5992]

Do you have a video on how to throw a throw ball?

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

I'm working on it! - Patrick

[@GreenPowerFarm]

Thank you bro ! Just what I needed to see....thanks

[@littlebroshow7886]

Very helpful thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@wa4aos]

Very good info. I'm not a tree climbing expert like you folks. My interest is getting lines up in trees to pull up wire Ham radio antennas, some as long as 260' between trees. Using a conventional sling shot, rod & reel ect is OK for low limbs but chancy at best getting higher up. I learned a lot from your well done video and now I have solutions to get my lines up higher. THANKS The one thing I am curious about is do you get tangles in your throw-line bags. I am sure it's important to keep twigs, grass and weeds out but most of what I have here in South Carolina are tall pine trees. I wonder if rosin getting on your line is a problem. Also, do you use something like talcum powder on your line to help prevent the line from sticking to itself? Any comments appreciated ! Again, Thanks !!

[@nathanarievlis3985]

Hey Patrick , I have a special stick too haha. Yours looks a little bigger , but personally, I don't think it matters much . One's just as good as another . However , I have put reflective tape on the tip and base of mine to help keep me from losing it … Thx for the video , brother , always appreciate seeing another treeman's system .

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

It's not the size of the stick that matters, it's how you use it... Cheers brother! - Patrick

[@Dave8972]

@@TreeMuggs_PatrickM What is the stick for?!?!??

[@billherrick3569]

What do you use the stick for?

[@Dave8972]

That was my question!

[@Daniel08353]

How’s that Husqvarna throw bag holding up? I’ve heard it competes well on quality with faltheimer?

[@acpeek]

Is there any features you'd add to the throwline bag to make it better?

[@andycapp8843]

When de stressing the towline from the spool, I use three fishermen’s swivels tied to the end, fixed to a short length used to attach it to the fixed point. Once the line is fully extended and you apply tension, any twist in the cord will unwind.

[@stephenlawlor211]

Nice setup ! New Husky cubes seem well made ? Can you preempt the wear on the corners with tape on the metal rods ?

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

New Husky cubes seem very well made. Can't really do anything about the rods poking through the corners, they are sealed inside the seam. The cheap cubes just don't last... - Patrick

[@S.L.T.S.21]

Is there any way I can get a educated climber shirt

[@tomerberger4775]

with the loop in the end of the line, you cant undo it from the ground, if it get snugged in a V shape point, if you use a lot of force you will cut the line, if you use special hitch, when you use a lot of force in pules , the ball will get free and fall to the ground ,and it will be easy to pull line back to you for another try, tnx for professional video

[@wesleyfrancis7590]

Awesome video. Thank you very much.

[@jarek5443]

A tree in the background lined up with his camera during that side profile shot toward the beginning. Made it look like he was balancing a silky on his hand

[@davidmcdonald1195]

What is the reason that you recommend having two cubes ?

[@robertbettis6552]

I have the fsltheimer as well, great cube. Great to keep that pull stick, i need to incorporate that.

[@Dave8972]

Hey, @robertbettis6552... What is the stick used for? (New tree guy here.)

[@newgunguy4176]

How about an angler's loop for attaching the throw line to the bag? It'll keep the loop in a more closed position.

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

I will have to look that up. Thanks! - Patrick

[@bobswartout214]

Patrick thanks. Did you ever try the 100ft chalk line reel the big one? Was thinking of setting up one. I have a small one to use in tree like Richards. But wondered if you use big chalk box. 10oz. Is perfect for me too. 12 oz works ok

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Have never tried the chalk line reel but I've seen others on KZbin using it. Cheers brother. - Patrick

[@TomBrooklyn]

Why is the cube so large?

[@Jim-rm4lz]

Putting such a large loop over the throw bag doesn't that get caught up easier on stubs? I try to keep a small loop for the bag attachment

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Not really, in my experience.... but I know lots of people just tie directly to the bag with a slipped knot and don't even use a loop... - Patrick

[@TheLoobis]

[@captainconner4060]

I never got a cube, I just utilize a large plastic ice cream pale lol... Last an eternity

[@dirk_krueger_]

😎👍☕

[@DellGTV]

Don’t know how you use 10oz. We use 12oz and that thing gets stuck all the time. Elm tree the other day the ball didn’t want to come down and ends up getting stuck trying to get it to slide off the bark. Definitely getting a 14 or 16oz

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

10 oz definitely gets stuck.......I just find I'm most accurate with it...... 'tis all....... - Patrick

[@k2thah286]

Ha ha. Most topical upload ever since I just lost 2 throw balls in a black locust last week, and the new kit is on the way. 🤦🏻‍♂️ That tree refused to be climbed. I’m so glad your snow is finally gone.

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Black locusts are a pain in the **** to set ropes with throwline... Cheers brother - Patrick

[@TheExtremeFist]

Does your beard ever fill out? Or does it stay sparse and homeless looking? Love the channel bro, stop hiding up there in Canada, get down here to some Festivals or Comps.

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Usually stays homeless looking! Cheers brother - Patrick
