Just another little trick I learned that works on the bow and arrow principal. I work alone a lot and sometimes I need to pull a tree and have it continue to pull as it falls. Hard to do by yourself. After tensioning the rope, I'll hang a weight in the middle of the rope. A 50 lb weight in the middle of a 100' or rope puts a lot of pull on the tree for a short distance, much more than the 50 lbs it weighs. After the tree starts to go, it's still 50 lbs of pull in the direction you want the tree to fall until the weight touches the ground. By then, the tree is pretty well going where it's going to go.

Very nice and thank you! Top job. Cheers from Australia 🙂👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I feel like it has already made me a more smarter, safer, feller.
Definitely better equipped for the task at hand come tomorrow morning.
To get even more tension on the anchor point before tying it off you can make a butterfly hitch before going around the tree and running the line through after before tensioning... works kindof like a block and tackle...
Thanks for the videos! Really helpful, I'm learning alot from you. Hopefully I can get qualified soon and start working as an arborist
You're putting out some good videos lately. It's always exciting to see some new content.
Hey mate greetings from Australia, I'm a beginner in the industry and I really like all your great informative videos, really clearly a d well explained. Please keep up the great work. Many thanks Simon
Thanks man, glad you find them useful! Climb safe out there.
Thanks I’d like to see your version of a spider leg balancer
I always love your points and lessons!
Those are great tips
Another great vid. Thanks man.
You’re amazing!
You know some stuff!!
Thanks 🙏🏼

I like the Bow and arrow... Looks like it will work well in smaller rigging applications. Rigging so you’re out of the fall line/lay during the pulling step. Thanks for posting!
Cool ...very neat trick...thanks always learning something new...
I know the first one as a basket hitch, never seen the bow and arrow before, very cool.
**crunchy leaves ASMR**
Could show how adding a truckers hitch could apply more mechanical advantage in the direction of the bull line then do the bow trick. But over all great information! Will be waiting to see more.
Thank you for your time and help
Topsaw here next door in Colfax. Great video, very informative
great info. i enjoy these videos and have learned from them as well!
Thank you for this lesson
Mi è piaciuto questo video . Ci sono precisazioni che non conoscevo. Grazie
You provide great explanations of useful techniques and have much enthusiasm. I want to go out tomorrow and try some of your suggestions even though I can not walk very well.
Good tips. Thanks!
Great video thx
Like the bow and arrow 👍🎃
Thank you
Great video! I have really been enjoying your channel!
Just a note to people watching the bow and arrow technique will give you lots of pulling power but over a relatively short distance. Just do t put yourself in a position where you need 10’ of good pull and can only get 8!
Acompanhando seus trabalhos aqui no Brasil 👍
Very educational, thanks alot bro.
Glad you found it useful !
The self release monkeys fist impressed me
I use the noose from the EducatedClimber 👍 Thx for the instructions🙏
I like the noose when I'm throwing through very tight gaps. Especially as it holds together for repeated throws however if it jams in the wrong spot it can be pulled to release the knot and retrieve the rope. The gasket coil in this video is faster to tie but more bulky. A true monkeys fist is actually more of a permanent throwing knot that makes a ball shape
Angus Smith I think you’ve got the most well informed reply in this whole comment thread ! NAILED IT!!
I do both of those things (a little modified, but same idea,) but I just kinda made them up, didn't realize they were things. Nice video, very informative. I like to make a "monkey fist" like yours, but instead of doing small coils, I'll take a very large bite of rope, like 12 feet, and then keep folding it in half until it's like a foot or so long, then proceed the same way you did. And for the side pull, instead of just pre-tensioning it by hand like you did, I'll often to a quick rope-on-rope 3-1 and lock it off, then do side pull. And if the rope is in the direction of fall, you can simply throw the tail of the rope through the knot that you're using for the 3-1 (I prefer a triple bowline, but an alpine would work fine) and pull with that tail. That will keep you well out of the trees target. Great video though, thanks for sharing
Thats awesome, yes there's always more than one way to skin a cat in this occupation! Glad you've found techniques that work for you
@@Stridertrees I love little tricks and tips like these! Time savers for sure
I may try this and put an alpine butterfly about halfway up the pull rope. Then use a second length of rope to pull from the alpine knot so as to not be in the path of the falling tree.
I like all of your videos , question for the new folks who may not see the rope unravel , I know what happens but the young new climber may want to see the magic ( lol ) of the rope n how it unravels .. this comes from the questions of the younger climber whom I have shown and informed them of your channel .. Joe form California..
Funny Joke on the leaves🤩
Taught line hitch is what most people 40 years ago called a monkeys hitch both terms were very common for the same knot.
The actual not that is called a monkey fist has been around for far more than 40 years. Been completed it's round like a ball and years ago they used to put large steel balls in them like oversized marbles made of steel or something of the sort. Anyhow, they were used to tie to the end of a heaving line and then throw it from ship to ship or ship to tug boat or ship to shore hand the monkey fist carry the light line across and that was the heaving line and you used it to heave your Mooring lines across to whatever you were Mooring a ship off to. And an actual monkey fist is not called anything else other than a monkey fist and it is its own knot
using vector forces, nice, nice.
Great vid, Hello from the Uk.Just one comment,the bow and arrow technique you use is taught in water rescue it’s called vectoring so you would “vector the rope” 😄 keep making these vids they are great
I’d love to know what you would do to uproot a tree or lift a boulder. I have a few ideas but I feel like you’d master that
Like the video only thing i see wrong is you would be in the danger zone when pulling in the middle of the rope. Do the same thing with the rope in the woods but i place a loop in the rope" alpine butterfly " then feed the rope back threw you still get a ton of pulling pressure and your out the danger zone when the tree comes down.
Similar to bow and arrow i like to tie an alpine butterfly then pull around a tree. You get much more pull and it holds the tension
Not heard it called a monkey fist here
In uk but that was the standard way we used to get climbing lines up into the tree on utilities. We weren't allowed to use throwlines 🤣
I’ll have to put up a vid on how to set up a tensioning hitch we used in the Royal Marines that we referred to as a dicks knot using a couple of steel carabiners.
Instead of using the bow and arrow I always locked off the rigging rope to the tree with a clove hitch. Leave enough tale and tie a Blake’s hitch and pull and tend slack until I get what I want
To anther tree
You can put a trow line weight and trow your rope its work good to
where can I get one of them shirts?
I love what you are doing!
We need to climb togeather!!!
But...
...
That is not a monkey fist knot, and that is not a Bowlin on a bite... I still love it, we need to work together ❤.
We call it vectoring the rope in the rescue world.
What kind of rope is that
Hey mate where did you get your shirts made? Look great, I’m Australian so no competition for you
The world is too full of opportunity to be much concerned with competition ;) Those shirts are made by a company called truewerk, and they are AWESOME couldn't recommend them enough.
Does the bow and arrow technique generate more force than a truckers hitch around a tree is there anyway you could test it with the electronic scale that you can add to a line
Without vector calculus I can’t give you a really complete answer, but the short answer is yeah sorta. But even better than just one or the other is to combine the techniques. Use a truckers hitch to fix the line in place with tension, then pull on the middle of the line to add more tension and some slight directional vectoring if necessary.
@@Stridertrees didn't even think of that is genius
Lmao, crunchy leaves asmr! I hope.you.put that in the description and get a million views for it! If only.youd have whispered your tips to us. 🤣
After 35 years
Not to much
Out there
That impresses
Me.
Butt.
There's newbies
That must learn.
Rope comalong
Around the tree then
Bow and arrow
TONTO
Let’s get a video where you show some SRT set ups for different price ranges
Why when putting tension on the rope don't you use the truckers hitch? It saves putting a guy in the firing line of the tree when felling
Yes, a truckers hitch can help add tension and you can still bow and arrow after it. But like you said this shouldn’t be used to pull a tree directly at a groundie... especially if it would reach them.
Yer it's a little odd, the monkeys fist isn't great looks nothing like what I know a fist to be.
I thought i was the only person who called that a monkey fist
I like your videos, what state do you live in?
Thanks glad you enjoy them. I hail from the tragically misguided state of California.
That "bowline on a bite" is actually a "triple bowline"
Geometry at work
Love the vid but please use manual focus! Lol
Any tips and tricks to tie up lazy coworkers without making them pass out?
We have ways.... ;)
Yep, 1st is a basket hitch. A monkey fist is a round ball n to much time to tie in the arb world.
You're not a throw weight guy?
Mate you need to fire yr vidiographer....can't see jack...
That’s not a monkey fist?
It's a through not not a money first a money first is a climbing not
You should have at least told the folks that there is a knot called a monkey fist and this is not it
I've heard a throwing knot, friction hitch, and climbing technique all called the Monkey Fist. 😄
Tree people are far from consistent with our nomenclature... I do know at least one other knot commonly referred to as a monkey fist
Great information but i got seasickness watching the video.
Thats not a monkey's fist
Horrible video .
Just killing awesome vid bro
