10 mins ago I failed a full suspension due to the anchor knot failing. Used the Bowline knot in the anchor and the slipknot in the neck. It wasnt painfull and the rope is fine and I swinged on it before my try. So i dont know why the hell im still alive. Which knot should I use in my next attemp?


For those wondering. I briefly loose my consciousness and waked up with minor disconfort and confused thinking something about the simpsons lawyer. So is not a bad method.

Am sorry life lead you here and sorry that your attempt faild. The hanging mega thread suggests to use a snuggle hitch knot for your anchor point. I I would suggest reading it very useful informations on there and some very helpful comments❤️

As mentioned above, Snuggle hitch knot is for the anchor.

And this is the best video on how to do it, it's simpler than the slip knot:


I admire and envy your determination, wish I would finally gather the courage and the will to go through with it in the next few days (also full suspension).

Thank you very much this is really helpfull. I don't know your life situation, what helped me rationalize it and have more courage (chickened out a few days ago with the rope on my neck) was thinking that I would have the same problems of life multiplied in a few years and even more when I was 60. Hope you find relief in life or peace on death.
