Update: I thought a throw line was a waste of time for small trees

Had a tricky removal in a tight backyard last week where I couldn't get a lift in. A climber from Eugene showed me how to set a line in the crown first to guide limbs down a precise chute. It saved us at least two hours of cleanup and zero damage to the fence. Anyone have other tricks for super confined spaces?

Wait, you used to think throw lines were a waste of time?

Yeah, I totally did. I mean, I used to skip them all the time, thought it was just extra work for nothing. But then I saw a video, maybe it was one of yours mason209, where the setup was just perfect because of a throw line. Changed my whole view. Now I see it's not a waste, it's how you get to the good spots without a huge fight. Makes the whole day easier, honestly.
