    Ha. I'm a tree surgeon and I thought I was heading nowhere with this video, but when you jumped on and went for a swing I got genuinely excited.

    I remember being a little kid playing on a huge swing my sister’s friend had, I never wanted to get off because the rope was extremely long

    Awesomeness!!! I want to build a giant sized papasan swing that can fit multiple people.
    And of course a traditional rope swing like this too! Love love love!!!

    I always tie a slipknot around a bottle of water, but that's just what I've found works good for a weight

    please - what spec is your rope? i know nothing about climbing but a 20-30m coil of something like this seems to be a good thing to have to hand

      Hey Ben, Waldo used Samson Velocity rope with a spice at each end. That's a tree climbing line for arborists. But any climbing rope or static rope with a thickness between 8mm to 16mm will suffice!

      Is it a static rope?

    There is a much easier way! Use a fly-fishing reel with some thin paracord on it to chuck over a high branch and then pull up a slackline - or two connected for a really long arc. Tie off one end and attached a swing by carabiner to the other and you are in business in c. 3min...

      Best job is to find a tree climber, or yourself if you're able to set the line from the tree where they are doing an eye level visual inspection then when you're happy get swinging. A proper big arc tree swing is hard to rival for a bit of cheap fun. Yes

      There’s a simpler way. Use a roll of tape. Tie a knot and wing it around in a circle and launch it over the branch
