I live in Western Washington, and we have very tall (130ft+) Douglas fir everywhere. I have a few on my property and I’m coming up with a plan to hang a node relatively high up.

I have two options to do this safely. I can either use an arborist sling to shoot a rope maybe 60ft or so up, and then pull a heavier rope with the node up. Or, I could drop some fishing line and a weight from my drone and do the same thing, except possibly even higher up.

Has anyone done something like this? Am I overthinking this, or missing something?

    Stinking squirrels LOVED my end fed, no matter how I tied it over the branch, they’d find a way to bring it down inside of a year. I used a big plastic clothesline pulley once, because the tree moved in the wind, and they chewed through the pulley 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
