This is the poly string made by Greenlee that is threaded thru conduit to pull the wire thru.

It is very lightweight and will shred if rubbed too much.

Very cheap and disposable.

My Highest Throw 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
My highest hand throw was 65'. Being near-sighted, I've discovered that I don't like to throw above that height, because inspection of the limb becomes more difficult. Living in the midwest, there are many opportunities in that range.

Tree entry is challenging. Things often don't go smoothly. Therefore I must brag that my highest tree entry was a single throw that was perfectly isolated on a solid branch.

Tree Climber's Toast: may we climb a 100 year old oak tree together, and may we plant that tree tomorrow.

  Then here's to the oak, the brave old oak,
       Who stands in his pride alone!
  And still flourish he, a hale green tree,
       When a hundred years are gone!
