Don't forget to include a self releasing snatch block. In my hilly tight forest it is a lifesaver.
If you have occasion to completely spool out all the cable, grab a can of bright spray paint. I painted a portion of my cable to let me know when I was getting to the end. I left 10' unpainted, and then painted about 10. When I see the painted cable I know I better be close, and when the unpainted part shows up after that I better be choking up a log.
