Probably stupid question: do I need some kind of ladder to hang on a tree?

not my method so im not 100% sure but it would make sense that you would need a ladder to get up there. unless theres a limb below it you can stand on

Depends if you're doing drop hanging I suppose or just full suspension, if there are low branches or the tree is easily climbed etc.

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

Oh .. everything is so complicated
Maybe a little stool will be enough

Just full suspension

Just full suspension

I think a small stool or chair or something would be enough in that case.

Full suspension is tricky, Its got a boat load of requirements your size and height factor in , full suspension was designed to snap your neck, while asphyxiation comes after. I highly recommend not doing this method, Look up short drop, it's easier and less painful, if you do it right you'll pass out before hand

You got it all wrong.
What you are describing is the long-drop and not full suspension.
Full suspension does not involve snapping one's neck, only hanging the whole body (as opposed to partial).

OP, as I am in the same boat, we will need some sort of a ladder, or at least a chair.
In order to tie the knot on a tree branch, we will need to get higher than we can reach from the ground.
And we'll also need to kick that shit from under us as the last act in our lives.

Probably a small folding ladder will do the trick

Exactly, the one with 3 stairs.
That's what I was going to use.
And you can carry it in a large plastic bag in broad daylight, so you want raise suspicion.

[QUOTE="Infinite Conscious,)
your right, I may have generalized, but what I was trying to explain is a short drop is the way to go, You suggest a chair.. to me that is a short drop, no other way to have a drop without it. btw Full suspension is a "long drop" if that is actually a thing. otherwise why would people hang a person at a high height? because the desire is to snap neck, thus making death quick, so an audience can stomach it. my two sense.

Unless you have the climbing skills of a squirrel I would imagine you would . But on the positive side , a small lightweight 3 or 4 step ladder is probably all you need (and you can hide that in a bag ). Good luck.

Definitely not a squirrel

Trees are too difficult. They are hard to climb, and my paranoia wouldnt let me just go out with a ladder under my arm, Ill be thinking 'What if others KNOW'
Bridge is perfect. Sturdy, will withstand my weight, railings are easy to climb, and 15 meters is plenty enough to break my neck.

I wish I could climb trees ;_;

I am afraid of heights, I don't know how people do that

It can be a box, or a cheap Ikea chair that can assebled on the spot, doesnt have to be a ladder imo. Doesnt seem like feet have to be too high from the ground.

Anyway, I have been thinking more of a place to do it, where you cant be spotted or interupted. Still cant find one.

As my backup method, I've considered this. As long as you don't live in a big city (eg London) you'll never have to travel far to find some woods that will have no one coming through them during the night. Plus if it's dark someone would have to come very close to see you, and hanging doesn't create that much sound.

A ladder is the optimum, it enables you to fix the rope at the branch and adjust the vertical position of the noose easily. You have to take care, that the feet don´t sink in the soft soil of the wood. A stool or a trunk would do too, you can throw the rope over the branch when it is to high.
More than two years ago I have hidden a ladder under my tree and it is still there, so I am sure that nobody will disturb me nor find my body.
