How to rig a rope swing without climbing the tree 

I've never felt less competent in my life😂.

Please make another one of these with someone else holding the camera 👌

I'm X-Navy and was duly impressed with your comfort with knots. You have a gift to be able to visualize how the knots worked together. Very Cool. Have a blessed day.

Man, I never thought putting a rope in a tree could be so complicated. hahaha. IMPRESSIVE. Thanks for sharing!!

I feel like I just took a graduate level class while I was still in preschool.

I really appreciate you making this video. It is definitely what I needed. That said, I have no idea how to make these nots, and yet I find myself thankful to have someone else show me how to do that.

Worked! dont skip the bailout i needed it. Now my kids think im a genius, thank you.

super impressed but got lost halfway through - you are obviously a rope genius . Can you just come to our house and do this for us?

This is surprisingly easy to follow considering you did it all with one hand. The bailout line trick is new to me, that'll make things a lot easier! Really appreciate you taking the time to make this video :)

THIS WORKS!!! Take your time and you DEFINITELY need the bailout line. No way I could do it without. Make sure to learn the double bowline knot correctly so the rig stays up for years. And it really helped me at the very end to have a second person put tension on the bailout line to get the final knot to slip through the loop. You can do it!

One handed rope knotting master class. Thanks!

After admitting defeat with the seat belt straps that came in my kit, I found this little gem. Thanks for the great advice. Don't underestimate the size of the bowline knot, especially when your limb is pretty high up in the tree. Distance plays tricks on your eyes. I had to make mine a bit larger.

Thanks for cutting right to the chase in these instructions. Clear directions, good sound quality, and camera control - all with one hand!

Hey, thanks for taking the time to show us how to do this without climbing! Much ppreciated!

Super helpful, used this method today, thanks a bunch!

Great work explaining and filming it! Thanks

I've read ALL the comments and they sum up ALL my thoughts!! Thank heavens my 10 foot ladder was all I needed to reach my tree branch. I've watched this video repeatedly simply because it's/you're fascinating. Not sure how you EVER figured this out but KUDOS!!!

This will make putting up a rope swing for my kids so much easier and safer! Thank you!

I sure wish I could follow this but I cannot. I'm thoroughly confused. But I appreciate your efforts!

Excellent tutorial. I like this approach, but I'm still searching for a way to have a "bail out" rope that would allow me to remove the line from the tree if it becomes damaged or starts to fray in the future. I don't like the idea of having a rope permanently affixed to a limb that I won't be able to get to if I ever need to replace the rope. I thought about just having a double rope, with one rope supporting the weight of the swing, and the other essentially just attached loosely to the main rope or the top of the swing. Just not sure how to keep all that from getting twisted up. Engineering stuff like this is fun, and you've given me some ideas for things to try.

You do know that’s an epic tree. Holy cow that looks like a butternut or walnut, maybe pecan. Beast of a tree👍

Exactly what I am looking for! Thank you. I’m about to go try it.

Thank you sooo much for this!! I knew there was a way I could do this without a taller ladder and by myself…🙏🙏 Much Appreciated!! 💯

Thanks! Was looking for something like that because I already thinked about this problem without finding a solution.. great job ;)

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you.

Great video! Thank you so much.

So did you just chuck the block over the tree branch before filming? (How exactly...?)

Super intelligent video - thank you for the content. You must be an experienced arborist.

This was a big help. How do you remove it from the tree though? Is there a trick?

Absolutely brilliant. I’ll have to find somebody with a really good arm to throw the rope over but this knotting technique is awesome! Will it loosen as the tree grows? I think I killed a branch by putting too tight of a knot on it.

That's great! Maybe I'll put it to practise this summer.

Finally an actual decent video

This was a terrific help, thanks.

Awesome! Thank you! 🤘🤘🤘

Where's the one handed video of you swinging on it? Lol

Question where did you learn all this and why don't I know this or can learn easily. great video.

Thanks for your uploading

Thanks for this! It worked perfectly for a branch too tall for my ladder.

Dude I really wanna know where you live due to that tree. I’m certain you have at least one friend that’s always staring at that thing- rarely see walnuts that big. Good for you

Got halfway finished watching the video and came to the comments to see if I was the only one getting a headache

Nice. Unfortunately I tried a shortcut and didn't put that safety rope on there and now it's stuck lol. Didn't do that loop long enough!!

This is so complicated, but I like it cus it looks like a very safe way to do the tree swing, but idk if im following straight, I keep having to stop and go back to try figuring out how exactly this is all being done and the finish product from it all, and if it's what I need. I have all the rope to do it enough, but I'm just not sure if it'd be easier to just climb the dang giant tree ime working with here. You definitely need a tripod of some any sorts though cus that view is making it seem too busy, I think it's why I'm feeling confused acually.

This will come in handy…

This is really cool. The setup is completed by strong rope and not to mention their unique way of rigging the rope for wood tree swings. I was planning to put one on my yard and saw several designs of swings already on treeswingstore.com

Awesome work!!

Ive got some really tall fir trees in the back. I've used a little crossbow with a bow fishing rig to get a string on the lowest branches. Seems like a drone could be useful 🤔

Thank you!

Dude, that branch is soo high, that would be the coolest swing to swing on? Where u live,lol, i wana come swing, cus my swing is still sitting on the ground cus ive sorta given up trying to keep up with your brilliance and stuck on wanting to do it only your way.

OMG THANKS FOR THE ANXIETY ATTACK!!!

谢谢你所做的视频 つ😘つ つ😘つ

This guy sounds like Chris pratt

How to remove it without climbing the tree?

im 39 years old, why am i watching this

Could u add a link to buy the climbing type of rope that doesn't stretch plz

Insanely well done, but I’m afraid this is definitely beyond my skill set. I can’t visualize how the knot gets tied at the top, I can sort of picture it from your close up…

This is great, thank you! What rope did you use to hang the swing?

So is it difficult to throw up the static line first? And then tie a serious slipknot or something, pull it all the way up and pull it tight? Is that not doable? If there's enough tension it shouldn't rub back and forth.

Holy shit this is the most complicated rope swing video I’ve seen on YT. I’m sure it made a good swing but using 3 ropes for a single rope swing setup, geez.

Great video...someone else holding please

What rope do you use to rig branches. Trying to cut one down that is ontop of the house

I loved this until everything started to move around and I got sea sick.from the camera and rope swing around

Aim: Short, punchy video. Outcome: Almost 15 minutes long

Trippd bro, GET A TRIPOD please

Don't waste your time on this video, over complicated way to do it. Super long video too, he could had explained it in a 3th of the time. I wasted my time watching it so you don't have to.

Step 1, skip the hardest part.

wtf did I just watch? 200 dollars, half a bottle of adderal, 3 ropes, 14 knots, and 13 minutes later, that snappy video is no longer snappy. Jeez, and also, if you can do all that you can definitely weedeat that yard.

For gosh sake please get someone to hold the camera while you work and give directions. !

Bored now

Get to the point already. Yes I'm impatient and thus video annoyed me.

The over complicated way to do it. Just get rope that is twice as long as what you need tie a weight to one end throw it up over the limb pull it down and tie a loop in one end put the other end through then pull the loop goes up and cut to length after the loop is up on the limb. You don't need all those ropes...just one rope.

You are a master! I was amazed on this video and wasn't expecting you will do it by yourself. We have our classic tree swing that we purchased at treeswingstore.com and really needed your tips to install it. Thanks and the video really helped my husband.
