Hello everyone

For hanging by total suspension, do i have to use a slipknot or a hangman's knot ?

Because i saw a lot o pics of hangman's knot with total suspension on the first pages of the thread.

Thanks in advance.
most definitely an improved slipknot called "noose knot"...tutorials are available on YouTube
Whats sorry of knot for i use to secure the rope?
bowline knot would be perfect...watch tutorials on YouTube and learn to tie it properly

Use a Noose Knot with a stopper knot. See this post of mine and the ones below that in the thread: https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/how-to-hang-yourself.1183/post-2934349

The Noose Knot is the same thing as a Slipknot. The only difference is which way you tie it, thus which end becomes the long end and the short end. In other words, which part of the rope will slide, and which one will be fixed.

I wouldn't use the Hangman's Knot. That doesn't slide easily, so it's not ideal.

I wouldn't call it an "improved" version. Basically, the Noose Knot and the Slipknot are the same things, apart from the direction in which you tie it. The only difference is which end is the sliding one and which end is fixed.

Thanks for that, but do you hate suicide? If you hate it then you might not like this place you know...
No I don't hate it,I believe if a person wishes to go then no one has the right to stop them,it's their life so their decision.I think it's wrong that Dr's,mental health workers,police and hospitals rally to stop someone from taking their life when it has nothing to do with them,they should concentrate on their own lives and stop meddling in others,I recently had mental health on my case about this trying to section me off but nurses agree with me that I'm not insane I am pretty rational and don't pose a danger to the public or others,but I'm now under constant surveillance from police,mental health and possibly others which I think is liberty's as they follow me everywhere I go to to stop me from doing anything stupid so I couldn't do it even if I wanted to,I've tested it a few times and sure enough an ambulance is in my carport within minutes so I know they're watching so I'm stuck atm but they can't watch me forever and they best hope they never lose sight of me as I'm fast at disappearing,so no I ain't against it,I just believe in signs when they're given,I got hung when I was 18 and passed out in roughly 7 seconds,so I know how hard it is to fail hanging at all and realistically it shouldn't fail so if it does in my view that's a big sign,I also believe the long drop is by far a better method,if your 5ft 7" and roughly 10 stone you need to drop atleast 8ft for a neck snap or 10ft for a head removal,I've done my research for time but like I say it's just not possible atm with all eyes on me,but I do strongly believe everyone has the right to die at their chosen time with 0 interference from anyone

I just tested my partial rope with position 3 this afternoon. It will work. I almost fucking did myself in. I was about to pass out trying to escape it.

If I'm a do this method I'm gonna have to do the long drop since mental health & police stalk me everywhere I go so a normal hanging wouldn't suffice as it takes upto 30 minutes to actually die where the long drop for me at 5ft7" 10 stone would be 8ft of drop to snap my neck and 10ft of drop to take my head clean off preventing MH & police any chance to stop me at all,if you've told MH about your ideas the chances are they are watching you as that's what they do to try get you sectioned when in reality suicide has absolutely nothing at all to do with mental health,when a person wants to die they ain't mentally disfigured in the brain,they know what's best for their life so mental health should but out and stop being such interfering people's,all they do is more harm than good,I personally think it's vile they're allowed to do what they do,should be shut down and investigated for making people's lives a misery

For full suspension, what height of a support (stool, chair..) would be too low ? or less than ideal ?

i assume 45cm might work, but without setting anything up it can be hard to judge. (and i feel like some things that are physically possible might not be ideal due to the margin of error..)
(and i notice a noose knot drops lower as it constricts - again, just testing with a shoelace rather than looking at a real setup, thinking about lots of possible factors..)



and i assume it may be better to step off backwards so you can kick a support forwards easier ?

(sorry if any of the above sounds like a dumb question that would be solved by me just testing it myself, but some of us are in situations where its hard to actually do that until the day itself / isnt easy to do the whole thing twice)

This is a lot harder than I was expecting. I've practiced a few times and I'm not even starting to go faint or anything, never mind lose consciousness.

Holy. It's pretty scary when you do block some blood flow. Ahh. Survival instinct is real. My life is scary as hell but so laying on the floor with a rope around my neck.

Did you manage to pass out? Where did you position the rope, at the top of the neck or lower? Also, did you experiment by holding the other end of the rope in your hand, or did you fix it to an anchor point (which is a very bad idea BTW)?

Couldn't agree more.

The middle of the neck for me seems like the spot. I haven't managed to pass out. But with the set up secured and testing it seems like I could pass out. But my SI kicks in.

Now I could be wrong but this is my hunch.

No I just started noticing my head being a bit more faint and SI kicked in and I was a bit scared but will have to work through it. It was at the top of my neck. I was fully intending on going through with it initially so I had the rope fixed to my anchor point which is one of those door attachments for resistance bands.

Today my neck hurts. I'll have to try again Friday and hope it feels better by then. Ugh I've eaten excessively as a coping mechanism lately and my neck is getting pretty fat. I hope this isn't going to make things harder.
