I want help with possible flaws to work out a plan.

[velgear]

I have had a pretty specific plan, i'm planning to buy an "aircraft grade wire rope" from a nearby hardware store. Then I plan to hang myself nearby my house. I have multiple trees near my house to where i can easily tie the other end of the rope. I would just like ironing out this plan a bit. I want to know if i should pad it or not, (i want to know if it lowers chance of actual death.) i also want to know if there is a specific way i need to tie it around a tree branch to where it won't cause it to break. I don't know too many details so I wanted to reach out and see if anyone could lend advice or advice to make this a better plan. (I have also seen that i think using your fingers for padding MIGHT work but idk. I'm willing to do whatever needs to be done.)

Welcome to the forum. If you have a few more posts you will also have access to the search function.

Here's a thread about trees:

Trees to use for hanging - from a tree expert

This thread is ONLY for those who 1) must do partial/full suspension hanging, and 2) can only resort to using a tree. I was a professional tree climber and trimmer for 5 years, i trimmed/felled trees away from powerlines all over Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. Just thought id give my best insights...

thank you for this. It wasn't in the form but does the rope need more weight to hold? I'm about 285 and it holds about 340. I am just unsure if I will weigh more on full suspension and if so how to compensate for that.

285kg?! You don't weigh more but the movements of your body put forces onto the tree branch and the rope. That is what you can test beforehand. Tie the rope to the anchor point, grab it with your hands and swing around for several minutes. If it holds it most likely will also hold you during the attempt.

Afaik it's suggested that the anchor point and rope should hold minimum 3x the body weight. So probably you should get a stronger rope.

not 285 kg, 285 pounds. (about 129.27 kg according to google.) and the rope holds about 340 pounds (154.22 kg according to google) but thank you, i'll try to find a stronger rope.
