Poor to Average with THROWLINE?? Then watch this...

[@metaspencer]

If I tried to make this video, I would have lost 9 throw bags up in the tree. Good job mate!

[@ClimbingArborist]

😂😂

[@plmengineer9238]

Thanks Climbing Arborist for taking the time to put this video together. You've convinced me I need to buy another throw line. Then with your lesson I'm looking forward to turning my 90%-of-the-time bad throws into a bob on tie-in point. Again many thanks, from a soggy UK 👍

[@ClimbingArborist]

You won’t regret that, let me know how you get on! It might take a little practice on the manipulation but it sure will help

[@Daniel08353]

Using two throwline as and bags is a great idea!, especially when you want it to lower in a precise area within the area the line is running! 👌🏼

[@neilrice8714]

I've heard of double bagging but now I think I understand it 😂. Thanks for another great video.

[@ClimbingArborist]

Glad you enjoyed it. It might take a little practice and rewatching bits of the video a couple times but it’s an easy skill we all should know to make our lives easier

[@aljaz_plankl]

Thank you so much! I heard of double bagging before, but you really explained it so well, especially the mentality of not trying to be perfect with the first throw. That was my biggest challagnge as i work a lot with brush underneath and dense canopies and it is just impossible to be accurate. This is realy a one-two throw way to do it! Thanks again. I love throwline now, haha.

[@ClimbingArborist]

So glad this all made sense, it does really open up many more options to get a line in

[@Pr0ph3cy-k5z]

I built my own throwline launcher for around $30 for used pvc piping, pressure gauge and in line sprinkler valve. Extremely accurate. The highest tree I launched it into was 133 foot tall..

[@ClimbingArborist]

Nice one! 👍

[@PhillCadwgan]

Great video Dan. I'm a less than average thrower but this should help a lot.

[@ClimbingArborist]

Glad you enjoyed it

Like sewing~ ~~ GREAT video mate, thanks very much for putting this together and sharing!

Great video and illustrated on a sunny day made it great to see all the details thanks mate

Thanks buddy 😃

[@Jorge-Fernandez-Lopez]

I never nail it. That's a wonderful technique! Thank you.

Snazzy glasses Dan. Great video as usual. Thanks, Jim in Oregon.

Cheers Jim 👍

[@neilrose477]

Hello Dan 😀 another great video mate thanks for posting this one , I am terrible with a throw line 😂 so will definitely be giving this a try , thanks again bud all the best 👊🏻👊🏻

[@ClimbingArborist]

No problem 👍 let Me know how you get on 😃

[@jafothetreeguy5168]

Thanks Dan hope you are well. I always find your tips a big help. Stay safe and Climb safe.

[@ClimbingArborist]

You’re welcome, glad you liked it

[@chillipphi]

Dan, did you get new glasses? Stay safe out there! Took a branch to the face this summer and injured my eye pretty badly. Healed well but it was a rough few weeks.

[@ClimbingArborist]

Had the glasses for a while, these ones are prescription, best for throwline 😃

[@briancrossley1710]

Throw liens - hate them, spend half my time trying to get the line into the tree so I'll give this a try. Good video, might try that overarm technique as well.

I always get hit with the lead shot bag. Upon retrieval too. Lots of lumps on my head.

[@warped2875]

I can't get any real height by hand throwing, because I'm an old fart. That's why I built a pneumatic cannon that can easily lob a 14oz bag to over 100 feet with a fairly high degree of accuracy. Figuring out the right amount of air pressure for a particular height is a bit of hit and miss for a while, until you generate a handy chart to get you in the ballpark. Using the double bag/two throwline technique to isolate the desired union is still very helpful info. Thx!

[@ClimbingArborist]

Good on you 👍

[@David-uk1kb]

I also try to guess the height of the union I want to hit, add 15-20 feet to that amount, flake the measured line on the ground and step on the line. I take my shot and the bag goes through the union and stops shortly after so I don't have to fish it out of the canopy of the next tree's branches. The pneumatic cannons are great, very accurate, but you have to be careful you don't shoot it into the next county :), and yes, keeping known pressures in mind for the cannon for certain is definitely helpful too. Sometimes I use a higher pressure that I need for a particular height because of some branch congestion and I just force the sucker through, that is where the measured line limitation comes in with an abrupt stop shortly after it passes through my target.

What safety glasses are those

[@ClimbingArborist]

Prescription safety glasses

I wonder if the sena's "bleep bleep bleep, Hello" is copyrighted to sena.. just a thought.

[@ClimbingArborist]

Free marketing for them

[@patrickbass3118]

A very familiar sound among arborists these days I would imagine

[@batmantiss]

I appreciate the video. I really do. But the juice ain't worth the squeeze. I'd just as soon hit a lower, easier tie in and advance my line from the canopy

[@ClimbingArborist]

But if you just throw higher, you have the pick of more unions, or a bad throw might mean you can still get the low one you speak about.

[@batmantiss]

@@ClimbingArborist yea I just have to watch the time I spend trying to isolate the perfect limb. "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good"

[@daniel_913]

I agree. A lot of hassle. Quicker to tie in lower and climb up a bit.

[@J-Loe]

Instead of attaching a 2nd line, I’ll do an alpine butterfly and attach a heavy or two heavy weighted bags to that..

[@julianalderson3938]

And do you ever us a wolf pole to get a spot when climbin but more for riggin. Or is it cheatin?

[@ClimbingArborist]

What is a wolf pole?

[@belowfray5251]

Def recommend looking silly but just get one and toss it up about 40 times. No tree, just throw, feel and watch. Muscle memory

[@ClimbingArborist]

Better to have something to aim for though

[@axesandthings483]

I'm so bad I bought a big shot. 😟

[@ClimbingArborist]

Don’t blame you

[@timbertuggy2398]

Only tree workers nay saying throw tools lack the discipline to master them. Become greater and learn your throw tools

[@ClimbingArborist]

Hear! Hear! 👏

[@alotl1kevegas860]

I cheat. I made a launcher out of pvc lol.

[@ClimbingArborist]

Don’t blame you 🤙

[@jodyhodge2129]

Same here with the pvc launcher.

[@lukasking2573]

I don't mess around with time consuming throwlines, I always use the assend alternating technique and start my rope low in the canopy. Much faster like that if the throwline skill is generally bad. Use only MRS

[@ClimbingArborist]

Well if you ever come across a tree that doesn’t have low branches you can reach, this video will be here to help 😁

[@lukasking2573]

@@ClimbingArborist all trees have lower branches, it's not necessary to throw the bag on the top section of the tree.

[@ClimbingArborist]

@@lukasking2573 Where we work the lowest branches can be 50ft up. The world is a big place with many varying landscapes.

[@doja41]

You know what they say, trees always have lower branches until they don’t.
