Throw line techniques

[Old Mill Tree Care]

I would like to add, I practiced for a couple of hours Sunday morning and low and behold I have improved. However my shoulder feels like a truck has hit it, hopefully it won't take 2 hours to hit the mark next time I need to use one.

Thanks for all the advice it is greatly appreciated.

 

 

That's a dreadful waste of a Sunday morning.

That time is in our calendars to be used as productive hangover recovery.

Whilst lying on the sofa wishing you were dead it takes 2 minutes to order a BigShot online.

Haha I wish I had hangover Sunday time but it's not an option with the little one, who make sure we are all up at 6am and gets us out by 9. Hangovers and children do not mix. So let her run off some steam and used the time productively.

I normally use an m14 nut or bearing race tied to some fishing line and a catapult , I do have a crossbow pistol and a small cheap drone but I've not tried them yet

In the US when hiking I have had to hoist my food sack into the trees to avoid bear predation.I thought no problem I have done this before at work. Add in that the guidelines say over 8M(25ft); 100M from your campsite and no trailing cord that the bear can pull on. Immediately suitable branches are hard to find and when you do succeed you are not as tall as you think you are and cannot reach the cord. Yes there is every chance the throw bag comes back and hits you in the face; and worst of all you cannot easily find the tree your precious food bag is in the next morning. I have shared Snicker bars with squirrels as the bear bagging does not defeat them.

You'd have to get bloody accurate with a drone I'd say. But sounds like a good idea.

I'd say use a metal container of some sort to stop the squirrels achieving their goal. As for finding it the next morning paint it a bright colour (it'll help a little I'm sure).

Not sure how the throw line can hit you in the face if I'm honest but we may be talking about different throw lines.

i think i paid twenty quid for the drone and ive only taken it for a flight a few times and your right its dificult to fly where you want it to go without a ton of practice, but its a toy really and a bit of fun

Who's happy with their Throw line choice and please do tell what line it is.

I started of with a 2 in 1 combination , which worked fine. Now after using Stein yellow line which is brilliant for two weeks or so untill the coating wears off.

Maybe a stiffline is my next choice.
