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

In this episode, I will teach you how to tie what I believe are the two best knots for connecting a throwline to a throw weight for setting climb lines in the canopy of trees. Both knots are "slipped," which means they can quickly and easily be untied, and they are both also easy to tie and extremely secure.

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!

Thanks for another informative video.

You're very welcome! Thanks for thanking me! Glad you enjoyed my video! =-D

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

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

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.

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

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.
