I was on a 50 mile Scout trek and two Scouts got a bear-bagging rope with a
rock tied to it stuck in a tree. They pulled as hard as they could and it shot
back and hit one of them in the neck. Luckily, it only hit soft tissue, but he
was in shock and couldn’t turn his head for a couple of days.
There is a kind of rope which is specifically designed to not get stuck in
trees, “arborist throw line”. These days, I exclusively use that for bear
bagging and for field antennas. Arborists also have throw weights for trees,
though I don’t take those on hikes.
