Here is an article on how to cheaply and easily run a wire antenna
using a slingshot, and a fishing pole.

Amazing! Amazing, that is, that there has actually been a recent patent
issued
on the slingshot-spinning reel combination: U.S. 6,286,495; filed on
8/2/02!

I used this idea as far back as 1966, copied from other hams who used it
before I did. And in 1990 I built one identical to the one they're
selling.
See the ad for EZ Hang on the www.qrz.com site.
