need a good throw knot for advancing my line or to set a lowering line ! :help:
i currently use a throw knot to access smaller trees rather than pulling out a throw bag and use the same knot if i needed help pursuading a tree to be felled ! i dont know the name of the knot i use (monkey fist ?) maybe, i was wondering if there was a more popular knot to use !
hank the rope around your arm a couple of times as if you were putting it away for storage then coil it around the side of the hank. take the long end and pull a bight thru the top end of the hank which will now be like a loop. keep this bight and a bight from the long end and toss away. this is open so the rope will go over the limb and unroll as it comes back down. another variation is to pull the first bight down and around the hank. this will be closed and not unroll. might i suggest a book called "Tree Climber's Companion" by Jeff Jepson? its about 20 bucks and is loaded with good techniques that are widely practiced. good luck and work safe.
