Flying through the air suspended from an organic structure is one of life’s simple pleasures and something we firmly believe we should all be doing far more. So, whether you’re in it for the nostalgia of well spent childhood, making up for lost time or perhaps just keen to spice up your weekend woodland walks, we’ve got you covered.
We head deep into the woods with professional tree climber, expert tree rigger and rope safety specialist Waldo Etherington, a man who’s forged a career and a life travelling all around the world climbing trees, to create the guide to making the perfect rope swing.

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

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

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!!!

@Ben-pb7sj 3 года назад

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

@BASEmedia 3 года назад

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!

@arpeeparro 3 года назад

Is it a static rope?

@yawningdog9894 2 года назад

@@arpeeparro well, yeah it's a arborist rope.

@arpeeparro 3 года назад

@fireboltaz 2 года назад

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...

@ferguswilson892 2 года назад

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

@fireboltaz 2 года назад

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
