Default What would you use for a 100 foot long clothesline 50 feet up?

I have a third-story window that goes out to a grove of oak trees where I
want to attach a clothesline from the window to the trees about 100 feet
away.

I will go to Home Depot and ask for clothes line, but, before I do, do
you have experience with something like this that you can make
recommendations?


My recommendation would be to make sure the clothes line is very light
weight. You definitely don't need the extra weight when you're trying
to jump 100 feet to the tree. Also, before you make that leap, make
sure you have had an extra large helping of beans because the gas the
beans will create will make you lighter.

Lastly, as you're in mid leap don't fart! If you do you'll loose that
advantage of the gas making you lighter and you'll hit the ground like
a ton of bricks.
