I never hear anyone else use it, but I used a sliding triple fisherman knot about 5 years back when I first started getting into this, and it’s been a great way to open it up to make a really easy girth hitch around the ring, and then cinch it down a little around the rope before finishing with a couple half hitches. I watch every video I can and haven’t seen anything that seems as simple or quick yet. I’m not especially smart or experienced, but I got lucky picked a great knot for this application IMO :)
Thanks. Spent a good amount of time throwing and rethrowing to get the union i wanted isolated this morning. Took a solid hit in the chest by my throw weight. Don’t be fooled they pack a punch.
The best I have found I had ! Jet set 1.7 mm I had that throw line for 2 yrs before I got a new one with a 16oz weaver bag I pulled trees over with throw line it'sworked for Me never broke on me it's solid orange throw line it's light weight dnt get tangled I can take it that bag flip it over branch to branch I u real learn quick and easy with that line
Hey! I had a lot of luck with double bagging recently. When I wanted to isolate a branch fork, the throw bags got jammed so that the two lines couldn't go back and forth. In my head I was already calculating how much the two throw bags and my beloved DMM XSRE screw lock would cost. At some point I was just tugging at the lines in desperation. Snap! and both projectiles came flying towards me. It turned out that the lower band on one of the throw bags had broken. I was so happy to be able to hold everything in my hands again. 😅 The next time I threw, I hit it better and could climb high. Thanks for the informative video 👍
The Bowline with a Yosemite finish is my fav, easily attach/detach the girth hitch from the throw weight to the lifeline rope without ever touching the knot. I use 10 oz bags, though even the tiniest branches can affect the trajectory of my throws, and if I'm not super careful when pulling the line back inn the weights will swing around a branch 10x. "Climb of shame" is a fitting term.. Great video and the details to the throwing and especially the aiming!
Great video guys. My first climb I forgot to isolate the union. Then I thought it would be a good idea to use my climb line to double bag. What a mistake that was. Lot's of lessons were learned that day. 😅 I definitely need to practice throwing more.
I've always used the over index finger method. Accuracy and launch height is unbeatable. 1 extra tip from what i saw here, is to pull a slight tension in the string between both hands, then if you perfectly time the release of the string in your holding hand just as the weight is nearing the end of the slack in the string after releasing with your throwing hand. You can create a double whip between the weight and string that nearly doubles the height of your throw while maintaining accuracy.
I use a different tie. I use a clove hitch but add a bite in the second loop of my clove. For me, it's quicker to tie and pull's out by pulling the tail of your string, just like your figure 8.

So none of you use a crossbow/compound bow ? I use a bow and arrow with the arrow head being a 50g weight that sits loosely on the shaft. The shaft is tethered by a loose string that i just stand on, so it falls to the ground shortly after release. The weight continues up into the tree with throw line attached. It's a good setup for tight windows and trees with lots of foliage down low - I live in an evergreen belt. Recently tried using a drone with a snag release with ok success, the highest branches can be accurately accessed, but yeah, wouldn't want to get it stuck 😀
Great video Abdon! While isolating, I do often find myself flaking throw line on the ground to access the bottom end of the throw line, and it’s tangle-ville in many terrains. Sometimes I consider carrying an empty third cube to flake into and avoid tangles….is that weird?

It sounds difficult and time-consuming to get off the throwball. Is it a split knot variant?

Had to smile at all this throwing action with that power line adjacent.
Why is that? There was adequate clearance from the tree to the lines.
@ for you, maybe. Just a strange place to be recording an instructional video.

Bowline termination is definitely my go-to for attachment, it's just so simple!
I've been practicing for 18 years I still suck 😂
You and me both!
Thanks for using Harrison rockets :)
Great video well explained and demonstrated. I attach using a slippery clove-hitch and usually throw an 8oz.
Harrison Rockets are Abdon's favorite throw weight, solid product!

Practice does make perfect or in this case, increases the probability of making it in minimal shots!

Sweet advice, thanks for that!
Hey Abdon! Thank you for the video. I use a slippery anchor hitch!
Nice!

Saludos👋!
Lo vamos a grabar en Español!
Great advice! THANX!😊
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent
Word. Right on time
Thro ball is hard now srt. Helps thanks
Girth hitch without the bowline works well
Just like your channel more n more
Thanks for that!💪
Can you do a “whats on my saddle” with the DMM Kinisi 🤘🏼
In the works!
Slipery 8 or Crown work well for me on the bag tie.
Easy on, easy off!
Slippery clove hitch 👍
super j'adore tes vidéo👌 utilise tu parfois un big shot ? bonne grimpe
Merci beaucoup! Normally, I don't use the big shot unless the ideal tie in point is out of my throwing range.
We call the last basket a granny purse but ya it'll fly
Slippery anchor to tie on

It wouldn't be weird if you find success with a spare cube. May be laying out a small tarp could help reduce the tangles?
