Help Finding the right lenght for a rope

[bananemitmilch]

I know its supposed to be 12mm, but how long does the rope have to be? Should 5 meters do the job? I will be using a tree, not a door btw.

I would say 5m is long enough to tie a noose and to tie the rope to one of the branches of the tree. How long is enough is difficult to say without knowing the specifics of the location.

If you've not checked out this guide you should have a look at it:

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...
