There are videos of linemen doing this. I would advise not trying it since some things you think are insulators really aren't if subject to multiple tens of kilovolts. The linemen have the equipment to be sure of their isolation from the earth and that there is no potential difference between them and the line, you don't.

With higher voltages, conductive suits are worn because corona discharge into the air can be enough to cause you pain or injury and because you cannot help being capacitively coupled to the world. The conductive suits allow current to flow around, not through you. Birds, who lack conductive clothing, don't sit on those wires.

I have actually seen this live as a child. Men, isolated by working from helicopters, changed a powerline in the Central Valley from single wires to two conductor bundles.
