How do people do it in a forest?

[Motoko]

This is a little intriguing to me - how do people compel to do it in a forest? What I mean by that, is when you want to hang yourself, you need a solid spot where you can tie your rope. You need to practice on it to make sure that it won't break etc. But when people do it in forest, do they just go around looking for a solid-looking tree branch and try their luck hoping that branch won't break under their weight? Aren't they afraid of someone seeing them? Do they go there at night or in a day? And what about climbing a tree. I find it hard to imagine that it would be easy to find a tree that's both easy to climb on and has a solid branch at a required height. Or maybe I'm just overthinking the specifics or something?

Does anyone has any experience in this?

I think they just go through with it.

I prefer hotel rooms, btw.

I think a people know the forests and what is going on there, like hunting times etc. b there are pretty remote forests.
Maybe u can go to a possible place at a possible time several times or check for the best times and so on

I've never considered that method, but if I decided go with it, I would spend some time to find a place first and check everything (including climb the tree or hang on the branch with my hands, so be sure it'll handle my weight) So when day X comes, I'd just go there and get shit done. And definitely not a night time. Forest is the most creepy place in time. I'd just prefer take off with a sunrise.

Where would you tie a rope in a hotel room?

The wardrobe! There's an iron bar, you know where the hangers are collocated, which is really strong!

Oh, so it would be partial hanging then right? The hotel room got me thinking but I would prefer to do the 'full' one than partial one.

Yeah, it would be partial hanging! I'm too scared of full hanging.

I wish I had a convenient forest nearby. I can think of places but they are a few hours away. I'm not in a condition to get there. I would love more than anything to be there alone in a remote area. I could actually die happy.

Not sure about hanging, but CO in a tent in a forest doesn't look too shabby to me.
Just do some scouting, find some remote place, set up camp and the charcoal and drift of to sleep.
I'm even thinking about ditching SN over this.

You just go to a tree, find a sturdy branch, tie it and jump. There's chances that it won't be peaceful and that you suffocate instead of breaking your neck but obviously we won't ever know. It's fast but uncomfortable and scary

 

[hellodarkness]

I'm not sure why people's first thought in the backwoods is tree branch. Climb a mountain and step off seems so much less complicated. Nobody needs to know how to tie knots right to fall ykwim lol

I watched a documentary about 青木ヶ原町樹海 in Japan, where many people carry out this act every year, hidden deep within the sea of trees.

I was surprised that many of them end up camping there for several days once they've gone off the path, some of them probably don't truly want to ctb and are mulling it over, even going so far as creating makeshift trails in case they wanted to go back and be able to find the path, but some of people in the forest that were interviewed looked like they were scouting out the nearby trees and making a plan.

The forest was very dark, shaded, and had an eerie sort of aura to it, especially when the belongings of the deceased and sometimes even skeletons are scattered throughout the forest. Some described it as peaceful but it didn't seem that way to me. I don't know why so many people chose to hang in that forest, I think my SI would kick in simply from being there and I would be unable to go through with it being surrounded with such visceral imagery.

You don't need to practice, no. Most people can easily identify by sight whether or not a branch can hold their weight. A few tugs on the rope once it's in place is enough to check that the branch isn't rotted. And a forest is one of the easiest possible environments to hide away from other people.

You are just overthinking the specifics, yes.

Where would you tie a rope in a hotel room?

A room has to be specifically designed for there not to be something to tie a rope to.

 

[Chemicalcastration20]

You need to find a hardwood forest much more choice and the branches will mostly be strong. Completely avoid a softwood forest (pine trees etc) there will be no lower branches and will be very difficult to climb them.
All my attempts have been in the forest.. (lucky to have alot close to me) I haven't seen anyone in the daytime that has ever disturbed me! Nightime you are never going to be found.. Very unlikely!

Maybe this one?

Same. If I ever ctb will be in a fancy hotel room.

Hmmm... It may be true for partial hanging, but I find it harder than 'full' hanging. If I were for hanging, I would prefer to do it by full hanging. Doing it in the hotel sounds really comfortable, but I would have to be assured there's something I could tie a rope around. Like something strongly attached to ceiling or something like that.

I was going to hang in a forest a while back. Then I got a tank of nitrogen and a regulator but it has been leaking gas and other problems so that plan backfired. I then managed to find out and secure sodium nitrite along with the other pills to make it more peaceful. I was wondering, though, how will people find your body in the woods? It would be even more traumatic for your family and friends (if any) to not know where to locate it. You all gonna leave a note or something?

Just me being presumptuous, but I think people who want to commit suicide in forests don't want to be found. I myself don't wish to be found because I'd rather have my loved ones think I'm alive and wonder where I am, than to know that I committed suicide. Especially my parents. I feel like nothing would break their hearts more than the fact that I had committed suicide.
