[Elecraft] KX-1 Antenna Recommendations

[tjdooley at comcast.net]

I have a question for the collective out there.  What is your favorite antenna to take to the field or backyard.  I won't be hiking deep into the woods, but would like to hear what you have found to be a good balance between ease of use and effectiveness as an antenna.
I have used a W3EDP with good success, but an outing on the AT Trail with my KX-1 last Saturday shows that 80 plus feet of wire is a challenge to get into the trees.  I have heard many combinations of wire antenna lengths and counterpoises, but I would like some input on what your experiences have determined to be your favorite combination.  Obviously, the band(s) of choice and location of choice could go with the favorite antenna of choice.
The featured rig of choice here is the KX-1, but I also have a K1 and K2 that get out to play once in a while.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and insights.
tnx es 73
