Thought I'd share these simple tips:
In the first DVD of the Working Climber series titled "The Throwline", Gerry Berenek shows a great tip for aerial throw line work. He put 60 feet of zing-it on a Pflueger Medalist fly reel, attached a throw bag to the free end, and carries the thing in a diddy bag. It looks like it works great for raising your initial ground-set TIP.

And speaking of ditty bags, I see that Sherrill and others have them, but they are either A very expensive and/or (usually "and") B very large. Get yourself a rock climber's chalk bag instead. Pretty cheap and just the right size. You can put a rigging knife, a cell phone (for emergencies), a camera (ohhhh noooo) or whatever little stuff in there and not have to mess with your pockets. I did a short climb with the "chalk" bag this past weekend while messing with a tire swing, worked great.
