Any simple knots i can use to fully suspend from a tree that sticks straight up?
For a better idea of what i'm going for, i'm choosing 550lb paracord in a remote forest. Problem is, the trees in that area don't branch out the way I would like them to. I'll post a stock image of these trees below. The tree trunks get about as wide as a trustworthy branch if one was attempting to fully hang. So i got to thinkin;
How can I tie up a noose to these tree trunks such that it will hold a convulsing 200+ pound fella such as myself with out being dragged down with that weight and gingerly depositing me to my salvation?
A hitch of some kind that will hold to a vertical pole and not slip down.
I don't know if there be many knot experts in chat, but if you could maybe point me to a knot repository or something? Or is this even mechanically a sound idea? Feel free to let me know!
