It's pretty long, but that doesn't really matter, does it? It can withstand 100+ kg from what I remember so it should work for partial right? I'm ≈ 90 kg. I'm scared that it's not thick enough or that the material is unconvenient for hanging. Put a small banana next to it for size reference. Will the rope work?

Also, hangmans knot or Slip knot? Can I do it drunk?

Thanks a lot

Edit: Due to criticism towars the banana scale, it's might be useful to know that it's even less thick than my pinky finger. I've got small and thin hands.

8-12mm rope will do, so as long as it is somewhere in between these numbers, you're good. The rope being a bit thinner shouldn't be much of an issue.

This knot should work well.

I know more about full suspension than partial, so if someone can chime in and help, that'd be even better.

That looks about 10mm rope? Should be good as long as you test to see it holds your weight

This might be a stupid question but 8-12 mm in width or in cicumference. In latter I measure 30 mm but as for width 10 mm

Thanks
Width. 10mm is perfectly fine for hanging, so you're good!

Looks good, use slipknot.
Of course you can do it drunk.

Would 20mm be more recommended for full would you say?

AFAIK a thicker rope is not better, since it can spread the pressure instead of focusing on one area, making the process slower.

Can't know how thick is too thick. Testing needs to be done, I don't have access to ropes right now, but I'm thinking of ordering a bunch of them and experimenting myself.

I would assume it also depends on one's anatomy, so it's really something most people will need to figure out on their own.

That's a sensible idea buying several ropes and testing them out. I think 12mm seems really ideal for both full and partial.

I think I'll be placing an order next week.

What mm ropes do I think I should get for the test? So far I'm thinking 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 20mm.

Well, I'd personally get 10mm and 12mm, but it's dependent n material
