Pulley and a stainless steel spring worked for me when i used trees as anchor points...

Anything more than four hours you need medical help. Just pray they can get you into the ambulance.

if its longer then 4 hours your supposed to call your doctor

No problem if you have a tower implant, crank it up and it stays up.

My HF old doublett is still dangling in the top of an sycamore and the other end of the feed line is shared by an oak tree. It's like the trees are teasing me, saying "If you want it climb up and get it". I've got some new open wire line on order. I wanto to get the new aerial up before the leaves show up.

Seems to be drooping a bit but at least I'm back on HF again.

20 meters is jammin' here in Six-Land, too!
