Throwline How To - Double Bagging technique 

I really like the miniature tree for rope examples.

You just saved me 5 years of throwing without double lining 😂😂😂 thanks Patrick. Great bonsai model by the way👌

What an amazing explanation of technique. So many others would have insisted on being outside, next to a tree trunk, mumbling in the wind and cursing as they 'failed' to miss the correct crotch. The mini-tree was a great idea and it worked really well. Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us.

Really great technique and explanation. The bonsai tree was perfect, on a real scale tree we would probably even not see the throw lines. Great video 👍

Great information. This is probably one of the things I’ve struggled the most with and didn’t even know these solutions existed. Thanks.

I work for that big green company. It's amazing how many tips I get from you that 20 year vets don't know.

Never thought of using two, my second is usually cos 1st is well and truly stuck....

Your demonstration on that small tree was absolutely perfect!!! I have never climbed a tree in my life, I'm going to be 71 in October and want to learn how to climb trees for fun. What you taught me will never be forgotten. Thank-you. Oh yeah, I'm starting to hunt with a bow in tree stands is actually how all of this got started. P

Thanks Patrick. Your videos are like a bag of free money.

In our day and age u don’t have to directly know someone to b a mentor. Thx Patrick. 🙏🏼

I have learned more from your little Bonsai tree than from 10 hours of other videos... Don't be shy about your tree its an EXCELLENT teaching aid!

Love it. Good demo/setup, learned lots. Looking forward to trying this whenever given the opportunity. Thanks a bunch Patrick. Stay well.

The bonsai tree idea is genius. Thanks for the tips very handy. I had not realized how handy a 2nd throw line could be!

This was one of the most useful tree climbing videos I have ever seen

Greetings from Venezuela . Thanks for the information, excellent technique. Just today was my first experience climbing a tree and it is very frustrating to try to put the line where you want, thank you, thank you !!!!!!!!

That last throw exposes me. I don't expect royalties for the throw and embroidery, but that is typically my shot bouncing off the target. Great video Patrick.

Man sometimes u think hitting where your aiming is a myth an when it’s really awesome is when it’s stuck an you jerk it out an now it’s flying at you at a high rate of speed great info like watch ur vids thanks

Watched this video last night, used it at work today!

I've been a climber for almost 4 years. I started carrying a second line about 2 years ago but always felt it was only backup for if my first got stuck. Usually the reason I got stuck was because I was trying to finesse my first line into the desired crotch with lots of wasted time and frustration. Today I had to set several lines in quick succession and these techniques saved me so much time and frustration. Thank you so much for these tips! Every new climber should learn this right off the bat.

Thanks Patrick I totally appreciate your instrucionals

Great job on this Pat. I know what you mean with showing it in reality. I think this is a great way to explain it. Good job on the background paper. Videos are great. Thanks!

Patrick,you explained and demonstrated very well how this is done.That's why I watch your channel. Thanks

Blew my mind, gotta get myself a second throw line kit now, thanks alot!

THANK YOU! Your channel is PHENOMENAL! The small tree model was PERFECT and the Napoleon Dynamite clip at the end was MASTERFUL! Am really loving your channel and the expertise that you articulate so well!

I truly appreciate that you take the time to share your tricks of the trade. Thanks for that. I really enjoy your videos...

Took you eight years to figure this out, but thx to your great tutorials it takes the rest of us about eight minutes 👍😊👏🏼

Nice video as always, we use all of this techniques in France, the funny thing is the technique you call “double bagging” is called “ the Canadian” here. Btw, I love your videos I’ve learnt a lot with you, thank you for the content Patrick

Tough to show but very well demonstrated. Thank you for continuing to educate us.

Great Video.Very helpful. I overshoot with the Big Shot often and always try to pull it back gently and get my line stuck often.. Thank you for this..

I love this demonstration !!! Very good in the bonsai tree, easy to fallow and understand! Light bulb moment for sure

Hey, awesome video. Thanks for the visual!

This was brilliantly demonstrated, thanks for using a tree and explaining it so well!

Your videos are great I get to learn something new every time I watch!

Helluva job! Thank you as always. Inexplicably valuable.

As always, excellent content! Epic use of bonsai tree! I'd never heard the term "double lining," but I have used this technique many times after "discovering" it -- completely through accidents and desperation. Every now and then, even a blind squirrel finds a nut! 🤪

Simple is best! Two great applications.

Excellent illustration. It made perfect sense to me, and I'm not even a climber. I am interested in learning, tho, and have been watching lots of videos about it. Thank you!

Just started with this stuff and this video is immensely helpful. You are a great instructor and the bonsai was an excellent prop!

Awesome instruction! Truly opened my eyes!

Thanks for showing this

Man again. Thank you. You’re so helpful. My channel has some throw line fails on it hahaha

Great info. Thanks Patrick

Wow, great information. Thanks.

Good info. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for the awesome instructional video. Game changer.

Brilliant !!!!! That's soooooooooooo cool....thanks for that tip.....

awesome work buddy. keep up the good work.

Excellent, thank you. The bonsai was perfect, as was your demonstration of the techniques.

Nice! You demo'd it perfectly. Thx! 👍

Great presentation. Really helpful. Thanks.

Thank you. Very nice instructables. It helps. It never came into my mind.

Love it. I bought a second kit when I saw you do this with the one in the graveyard where the middle section exploded when you dropped it. Using that 2nd line to isolate where you wanted just made so much sense to me. Thank you

what a good throwline class. Thankyou

Yeah that’s a a awesome trick man. Great stuff. You should make a video about how you choose what crotches to look for and how you determine what crotches are good for natural rigging or your TIP. That would be very helpful. Edit: nvm I found your videos explaining the rigging. I’m going to watch them now. lol thanks again for the great content and I enjoy watching your videos. 💯👍🏻

Love your info you share. Thanks a ton.💪

You successfully explained the concepts. Well done.

Well done, Patrick! Your presentation was very clear and contained very useful, practical instruction. I will add this to my arsenal of tricks and techniques. Thank you!

Great advice!! Thanks for the knowledge. I have two setups and never considered using the other to help redirect the main.

Awesome video, great for a beginner..

Brilliant Share... Thanks bud.!!

Excellent video. Thanks for the helpful information for a newbie.

The files are in the computer, it's so simple! Good job explaining!

Very clear. Thank you

Perfect explanation and mock up. This is going to be a game changer for me..

Never seen anything like that before but I’m gonna start trying those techniques! Amazing!

omg so smart. Liked!!!

You did a great job explaining this, Patrick! I appreciate how helpful this is, and your other insights through your videos and podcast episodes. I pray that God will bless you and continue to take care of you and your family.

Great tutorial. Thanks!

Great video thanks. A couple more tips, if you completely miss your crotch on a throw and there's no way to get to it, remove the bean bag before retrieving your line from the tree. If you try to retrieve your line with your bean bag attached it will very likely get it stuck in the tree. Second, it's good to grab onto both lines at the same time so you can manipulate your bean bags. For example it's real easy to get the bean bags swinging if you're holding onto both lines a at the same time. Very important like you said to add more weight because of the added friction of two lines in the tree.

Great info; thanks.

love the tip

This is so cool. Thanks for your expertise. Im a home owner who really appreciate you knowledge. Keep up the good work. Be safe.

Awesome. Thank you Sir.👍

Good stuff.

That was an excellent demo. I find myself as a better throwball thrower than my statistics show cuz I work around alot of busy trees. Usually I hit my crotch but go above & beyond & the double lining is the key. I have a green line that I back up with a red line with 3 different throw bags ➕ I keep small carabiners on my saddle. Better to do this method than to let your ball go all the way to the ground & take the ball off & the line & start all over. Thanks 😊

That's awesome! Thank you

Love that little tree for demonstration.

SO GOOD!!!!!!

Really helpful thank you

Makes sense. Thanks

Great tip👍👍👍

Thanks for the tip

Great demo! ... and great editing :) Sir, I'm encouraged -- as part-time wanna-be -- that I followed what you were saying and could relate to all your scenarios..... much credit to your teaching skills. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, and keep staying safe!

Thanks. Take care

I love it man, thank you!

Bro! Changed my life!

Killer vid bro !

Usefull technique.

I greatly appreciate you.

That was sweet thankyou

Awesome

I was wishing today I had a second throw bag for this exact situation!!!

For years people asked me why do you have extra throw bags ? sometimes They lost ( stuck in a tree ) or damaged.. I need an extras for thy reason. here you have an exceptional exclamation ! Of what I’ve been trying to explain to many climbers. 😎🤓🌳🧠z

Brilliant! As I pretty much miss every crotch I ever aim for this is a lifesaver. Btw when I started practicing I lost 2 expensive throw bags (on the same day which was demoralizing). Started practicing again using heavy steel nuts (50 cents each) which gave me a comparable weight. Just be sure not to be around any cars, houses, kids or pets while practicing.

Thank you sir!

Awesome never thought of that. Maybe will save me some head scratching in a future over shot/ inaccuracy etc

Great bro

Awesome job on demo Patrick, the struggle now is getting the rope over the branch once isolated, I do a girth hitch with 3-4 half wraps ending with a girth hitch on end of climbing rope, pull the rope to isolated branch then the end of rope stops it from going over! I’ve thought about turning a cone on lathe with string coming out center, any tips would alleviate my frustration! Thanks again for your experience!!

Hey! This is awesome stuff I just have one question. For those of us who only have one line to deal with, couldn't you just attach a weight midline to your first throwline and pull it up then let come down over the branch you want? Is there a reason why you wouldn't want to do that? Thanks! Awesome stuff like always

Great information video Al... Hahahaha okay Patrick.
