hanging questions

[sick.faery]

so i think i'm going to go with hanging & i do have rope but the thing for one of them i'm not sure if it's like going to work because it's super rigid and sturdy and it's hard to bend properly. so doing knots that stick might be hard. and the other rope is pretty hard to get to.... so i'm wondering if y'all know other stuff that would work for hanging or partial? just so in case the ropes aren't an option i got something to fall back onto/just switch to

also what sort of knots should i do (that aren't the hangman's)? I'm pretty clueless on them

What do you mean the other rope is hard to get to?

I'm sticking to shoelaces.
I've seen others cut up pants or towels. I haven't tried these for fear of insufficient pressure.

Most of the 'How to's should be available in the Wiki, including the sort of knots that are usually used and all.

The material for the rope and all, I believe depends on your physique. For instance in my case, I am way too skinny for an average person and I know that I needn't worry too much of the rope snapping because of my weight, which I have read a lot many people here have suffered as part of their failure to partial or full suspension.

But honestly, I find that locating the right spot for the Carotid closure is the trickiest bit and once that problem is tackled, it should be a rather peaceful exit.
