I want to show you how I shoot my antenna into a tree for POTA or any portable use.
A good simple wire antenna can be shot into a tree easy.
With a basic 100 W HF radio, portable antenna and emergency generator on hand I decided to operate as Class 1B (one transmitter, portable). To keep it simple I set up at my own house and operated only SSB. Yes, I am considered portable, whether I have hauled my station and accessories 100 miles or 100 feet.
I brought the generator out of storage and located it 100 feet away from my operating spot. The distance of 100 feet was significant - it is the length of my extension cord. The antenna was a new Buddipole. I had purchased it with the intention of using it for an RV station during camping trips. So I placed my rig, microphone and foot switch on my deck and mounted the Buddipole in the dipole configuration nearby. That was my entire Field Day station.
