FWIW my favourite method to place a line in a tree makes use of a strong but light fibreglass pole almost 10m in length, through which runs a drop line. It does takes longer to place a line than when using a missile system, about an hour to place a line at 100ft in a tall pine exactly where one wants it so not very useful when operating "portable". Because a tree's branches are used as hoist points for the pole on the way up, the pole must not weigh too much when placing a line in a tall pine, whose lower branches have long gone leaving short "branch stumps".
