NR,

you really do not let the grass grow do you???

The fastest temporary antennas for CB will be an end fed wire.

METHOD
15m to 20 of paracord with a sand filled water bottle on one end. Throw bottle over branch approx 7m high...paracord will follow.
Tie approx 6m of wire to end of paracord via small DIY insulator
Connect Wire to one of these (onto one of the wing nuts) see attachment.
If you are using the same piece of wire each time tuning will be pretty much in place anyway. But slight fiddling may be required.

Time to erect and get on air less than 5 mins.

Any good?
Ha ha, BoB beat me to it.

Pretty much the same thing 1/2 wave vertical. No counterpoises needed.

her version is pre-tuned but needs the fishing rod support.

My proposal will need tuning due to influence of nearby branches etc.
