Nice sling shot. Chris, you left us hanging. I know they say good things come to those who wait. So that must mean you have a great video for us tomorrow. Looking forward to part 2.
Good stuff. My first was homemade, then I bought the real thing. I throw most “pull” lines under 70’ now, I set high climb lines with an air cannon I built out of large copper tubing. Best thing ever. Cost of fittings and pipe were actually less than the cost of the Big shot.
Hey Chris another Tool time with Tony! Nice sling shot on the first try! You two did …………oh wait I’m out of time so you will have to come back tomorrow for the rest of the comment.🤣👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Wow Tony is now Mr. Big Shot. They work great for better height and accuracy on setting your throw ball and line in trees. Just a tip, it’s often a better approach to tie off the terminal end of your pull rope around the base of the tree whether you use a carabiner or a bowline knot. Tony could wrap the tree at waist height after reattaching his carabiner rather than cinching the carabiner upwards and getting trapped by limbs that may break as the pull against the lean starts to move the tree…releasing line tension in an unpredictable and potentially dangerous way before the tree is pulled over center to fall safely. Hope that’s helpful.
@@InTheWoodyard Also, it’s a good idea to check for and remove loose bark where you’ll tie off to prevent line slipping up the stem. Cutting a small notch to nest the rope tie off wrap in is also a helpful safety step when tree diameter permits.
You two are a hoot together! I'm sure glad you guys do these videos. Always some humor that is right in my wheelhouse. Chris what was the rest of the sentence you said? "Slicker than..." Every region has there own little twist. In my area it's slicker than snot on waxed paper....which is very slick. Can't wait for tomorrow's video, be safe brothers!
Gotta have a big shot Chris. We have one and we use it on our tree care to put in our climbing lines and my main climber can hit branches at 70 to 80' with no problem problem.
My father and I modified a Retrieving Dog Training device that uses those .22 masonry nail blanks to trow lines. The core of it looks like an aluminum dirt motorcycle grip so very robust, just light, so we wrapped a lead line around the base and secured it for added weight. we use it for setting amateur radio antenna lines in trees and it works a beaut.
Excellent show!! The dynamic duo! Would be good to see what other ‘toys’ Tony has! I expect you are going to put up a similar ‘toy shed,’ at the woodyard, to keep all your kit safe, warm and undercover too? 😊
Nice shooting...or lucky lol. When we were into trees I tried hand tossing the bags and it was frustrating making 3,5,10 tosses lol. I ended up making a air powered gun (potato gun) type launcher and it worked very well plus I made it for around 50 bucks and places like TreeStuff wanted a couple hundred bucks I believe for the same type thing. I just carried a little bike tire pump and pumped it up to 60-80 psi and pulled the lever and out it went lol. At 80 psi it would easily travel 100-150 feet, it was fun to use and made life so much easier.
The fancy name for the knot Tony used to connect t the slingshot rope to the pull rope is a 'Prussick' knot. Common in climbing and rope rescue work. Can be double or triple depending on the size of ropes and the load being handled. GNI... or should I say Good Morning Irene?
Great video! 1st shot! #GameChanger We just started using the Big Shot. We use the trigger, and it’s terrific. The trigger is adjustable for throwing different heights and avoid over shooting. We keep the line in a foldable basket. Some good UA-cam videos on how to used a 2nd or 3rd throw bag, for occurrences when you overshoot the crotch.
Yeah, like it ! I have a skidding winch on the back of my tractor with a 3/8"x 150' cable. I usually set a 28' ladder up and climb the tree high enough to throw a chain around it, then connect that to the cable.....but hauling the ladder up to the tree is sometimes a huge pain if it isn't out where you can get to it easy like the video one. I cut a 36" diameter oak last week that had a lean out over power lines and my fence and needed to go 180 degrees from the lean. Got it down OK. Question: Does the slick little orange cord come with the Big Shot or is it something he bought someplace else ?
If you have enough rope, just tie the end on the back side at the base of the tree. That way you can avoid getting caught up in those branches, and if you need to get the rope out before you get the tree down all you have to do is untie the base
With my big shot can ger accurate shot regularly to 150..ft and 185 200ft with bullet weight..have archery trigger..and digernt bag.although 10 ounce is best for residential
@@InTheWoodyard They do a good job of launching from the ground - but what do you use when you're already up in a tree & you need to go higher & tossing a throw bag isn't possible? Are there smaller sling shots made for launching throw bags in trees that have the power to shoot 30 ft. or so?
@@InTheWoodyard Zachary Fowler was on alone. Now he has a UA-cam channel fowlers makery and mischief. He's always got a slingshot. Compared to the standard wrist rockets Tony's sling shot would be like a howitzer.
I really enjoy being the first one to say this you guys be careful don't shoot your eye out.
Nice sling shot.
Chris, you left us hanging.

Yup it is a good one, see you tomorrow!

Thanks Jack, I am glad to be of help for you!
That thing's a ripper! Wow Sweet
Yes, it worked really good!
Glad to know I'm not the only greybeard with a rather "youthful" way of looking at things! :D
To me age is more of how you think and act...although I do know gravity will win some day...I will keep fighting it!
Tony has all the cool stuff!!! I'll be back tomorrow to watch the tree come down! GNI
Yes he has fun toys!
Slingshots, ropes, sacks, tractors and chainsaws. Sounds like a play date.
HA! Yes that is pretty much what we do!
Another great video= loaded with great ideas! I need a man cave like his! The Wheels are spinning -🧐🧐🧐👍
You and me both!
Hello Tony just got one in the mail! Rick and I will be trying it out soon! 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Sounds good!
O my the boys are at play again.Have sales and educational video great to watch and learn.
Thanks for watching Donald!
Nice tool.. I had no idea someone even made such a great tool..
See you tomorrow..
Can't wait to see you again tomorrow Daniel!
Great video chris, Love the sling shot! 🚜🪵🇺🇸
Thanks Larry, all big boys should have one!
Looking good Thanks for sharing 👍 👌
Thanks for watching!
That sling shot works good. Might have look into one to pull down snags. Nice video. 👍🏻👍🏻
Yes it sure does!
Love the Big Shot. Used it in the tree service, and helped us place MANY ropes in trees.
Yup, it worked out nice!
Good job mate 👍
Thanks 👍
G’morning Chris. I’m a day late.
Awesome looking tool. I need one now ! Thanks. GoodNightIrene
No worries as long as you come back!
You do your part, and I’ll do mine. Daily !

Tony is deadly with that slingshot !
Yes, I think he had his eyes closed!

Thanks for watching Gerry!
Nice, looking forward to next video
Thanks! See you here tomorrow!
Great episode Outdoors with Tony :)
Thanks for watching, see you here tomorrow!
I have one of those big shots. Good bit of kit I use Marlow dyemena line. Never snapped it yet.
They do work out great!
Very cool tool.. I may buy one even though it has been years since I have needed to take a tree down.. I can't wait to see if the tree falls well!
Yup, it is cool! Tomorrow, tree goes down!
Gotta have a big shot Chris. We have one and we use it on our tree care to put in our climbing lines and my main climber can hit branches at 70 to 80' with no problem problem.

That looks like a very nice garage 36'x54' , that TONY's has. I have used a bow and arrow with a string tied onto the arrow. See you in Part 2 !
Yes, a bow would work too, see you tomorrow!
I was thinking I need one of those sling shots, but I know a guy. Lol

I'm sure everything went well. But I will definitely be here tomorrow to watch the carnage.
Take care my friends!!😀😀

Maybe it did, maybe the shed got smashed????

Nice, I have seen the pros use the air guns.
I texted my dad telling him now I need to try the giant slingshot. LOL Can't wait to see that baby come down in tomorrow's video!
I want to go hunting with it! HA!
I have five brothers I have one just like you Chris. I have one just like Tony. I have one just like Kenny.
Sounds like you have a set of good ones! HA!

The Dad jokes are thick in this episode 🤣🤣🤣
Yup, there are a lot of "adult" jokes that we have t edit out!
Using a throw line is like playing horse shoes but a little more painful especially when your line turns into a rats nest lol
That toss line Tony has is really good stuff!
Yeah, like it !

Yup, that is a great way to do it too!
Did you guys notice that all the scampering squirrels took off running when you got Tony's slingshot out.
Yup, it would be a good squirrel gun!
"shot your sack through the crotch"! sounds like a bad hunting accident. lol. good shot! first try!
Yes, it does sound like it would hurt!
With my big shot can ger accurate shot regularly to 150..ft and 185 200ft with bullet weight..have archery trigger..and digernt bag.although 10 ounce is best for residential

Thinking of getting this - is this the same as the Jameson Big Shot slingshot - is one better than the other?
I do not know, but they do work great!

My guess is that they will both be wearing the same clothes tomorrow...
Ha! No, not this time!
You guys should have your hard hats on
Probably!
🤝🤝🤝 👍👍👍
Thanks ARNI!
Hola como se puede conseguir esa herramienta quedo atento a su respuesta
Thanks for watching!
Does Tony have spurs? Would love to see you guys climbing!
Probably! But it's not going to happen.
Check out August Hunicke he is a Arborist on the Westcoast. Has a lot of toys.
Yes, he does, he is a real pro!
Well when you're younger your hand tossing is very good from practiceing. Tony slingshot is like the Viagra of hand tossing.
That is a good one Stanley!
Where's the video where you cut it down? Why didn't you post the ling to it in this video?
It is there somewhere...that was 1000 videos and 2 years ago...
POV: you came here looking for the deltarune song
Sorry, I do not know what that means.
@@InTheWoodyard Deltarune is a game. In Chapter 2, a character named Spamton is known for 'Big Shot'.
i deer hunt with mine . LOL
Haaaaa!
know it all doesn't know a RUNNING BOWLINE
It worked and that is all that matters.
You don't have to know the name of something to know how to do it/use it...
@@nicholascooper1193 you use a running bowline instead of a carabiner since t\you tie the carabiner on why not bypass the extra knot
First doesn’t matter but here I am
Your new name is GOLD STAR STEVE! HA!
i dio use a bow and arrow, change then a few times ticker rope, cheapo
Nice!
Why make us wait should of kept rolling ,
Time, not enough of it, for shooting AND editing and uploading and the video would be to long, see you here tomorrow.
Well when you're in The sandlot! Come on smalls you throw like a girl. Sometimes you need a little help the older you get.
Yes, we both have pus arms!
