traps, wires and para cord

[Phil]

1. The squirrels here in my part of the UK make short work of para cord, so I have to use steel cable instead.

2. The fork in the chestnut tree has grown around the steel cable, so I can no longer lower that end... 😳

Regards,

I used my sling shot/fishing reel to shoot some fishing line over the tree so I could pull some rope over the tree much higher up. I then pulled the old rope down so I could pull it back through the top of the tree. Well the fishing line snapped as I was pulling it up. Bummer, I guess 6# monofilament is too weak so I've ordered some 20# line. I got permission from a neighbor to use one of his trees in the back yard. When I'm finished I hope to have some dipoles on the lower bands and much higher up in the sky.
