How far into the forest should I walk to CTB by SN?

[Tyra]

So the chunk of forest has a trail and a road in parallel 600 m apart.

I was thinking about walking 300 m into the forest then I'm in the middle. Meaning it's less likely anyone would hear me…

But I keep thinking about how first responders are going to have to walk that far carrying my body… and I feel guilty.

It's part of the job, so it should be fine. Worst thing would be if unsuspecting walker-bys stumbled upon it and got traumatised.

Then it's better to let the professionals handle this because it is what they're used to. You seem to have quite a good heart to even care about the short stroll the first responders have to take.

So I wish you well in finding peace, whatever peace means to you.

300 meters is not very far at all. I think the chances of someone seeing you or hearing you is higher than I would be comfortable with.

It's through pretty dense forest I think (I haven't been yet just seen on google maps). I'll have a camo tent.

I'll be taking the SN at 12:00 AM (midnight).

Also the eifel tower is 300 meters tall (not counting the antenna) so that's a pretty long distance in my opinion.

Idk if it's possible to hear someone vomiting on the top of the eifel tower if your at the base of it

They have to carry my body through a somewhat dense forest…

I don't know how long the walk will be but I will time it. Maybe 4 mins?

A standard city block where I live is 200 meters long, so it's a block and a half away. At that distance, are you going to hear someone? Probably not. But there's the possibility of someone walking their dog off the leash or something. I mean, it's not in the deep woods where you can reasonably expect to be away from people, people will be passing by you and they will be able to see the shape of your tent.

I'm not interested in SN, as a method, but from what I've read, being interrupted during the process is a big problem. That doesn't strike me as an entirely risk free location, but it's your choice, not mine.

People only walk on the trail. No one goes into the deeply wooded forest.

I don't know where you are from but I am from Canada and the forests are dense and have lots of trees. It's also a small 1 person camouflage tent.

I also had the idea of digging a trench so it could stop the sound from travelling.

I have time ahead of my CTB to dig the trench and maybe build a cover out of wood possibly.
