Im outlining a hanging plan, what comments do people have? I know there are gaps here, but wanted to get started. I plan full (even though it's scary) because partial just seems to be super difficult to pull off
Where - this is a big question. I have a room in the home with ceiling joists that might be suitable. I hate to traumatize my husband this way, so am looking for alternatives. There's a weirdly secluded ravine near me that I plan to scout for suitable trees and privacy. I am not too optimistic though that I will find a suitable tree, I think they will be too big. Other option is hotel, with the rope over a door. I am concerned however that the door (presumably bathroom door) won't close. What about a strap in that case?
Rope. I need to procure a 12mm polyester rope. Dock line might be a good choice
?Padding? Some people mention putting light socks over the carotid. Although that might be hard to put in place as one is dealing with the rope. Comments?
Knots. Use a slip knot for the noose, with a not at the free end to prevent slipping. Which knot for the anchor point? I need to practice these knots. In addition there is a logistic to getting the rope over the anchor point, especially if it's a tree. (I can't throw very far!).
The rope shoud be affixed to the anchor point, and then subsequently the noose prepared and slipped around neck. I don't think I've seen this mentioned but i think the noose is supposed to be positioned as close as possible to where my neck will be in a natural standing position. So I think getting the length right is important.
Set up. Will need a stool or chair (perhaps a camping stool if in woods). Step off gently.
SI. This is an issue for many so I should expect it will be for me too.
Noise...if in a hotel room, leave the TV on, target 8 or 9 pm to avoid waking guests. If in the woods be very careful to be out of sight of the paths. Very lightly used area but do some observations as well. At home should be no issues once I find a day my husband is away. Other than the awfulness of him finding me.
