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?


out of curiosity do they tend to have stable enough branches to where things hung on them can be expected to stay put for several years?
