Opinions on my FSH setup

[_wishforwings]

Hi :-) so I have set up my full suspension hanging set up and i feel confident but i wanted to get some opinions and make sure the knots look tied right and everything. I know this is posted a lot so i apologize haha

I am using a 12mm dock line that i've heard recommended here before, I got this cool little rope gun thing to cut some of the length off.

I tied a snuggle hitch to the dumbbell and then tied a stopper knot (i believe an ashley knot specifically). Do i have an adequate amount of tail left? And do they look tied properly?

Then for the noose itself I tied an arbor knot with the same stopper knot on the end. My door has a round doorknob and it closes And locks 100% all the way. I do sort of wish I had some kind of latch or something for my door for even more security but i'm not too sure how to install something like that, and maybe i'm being overly paranoid that I could somehow untwist the lock AND then open the door in a panic, I'm not sure.. I've been trying to practice putting weight and pulling as much as I can as well and it seems good.

Only other thing i'm a bit worried about is that I live in a townhouse complex with a neighbor connected to the side of my house, and they're almost always home. Unemployed mfs. (I say as i am one).
It's supposed to storm loud/hail tonight maybe that'll help a bit?? I don't know, They've never given any noise complaints but part of me is a bit worried I could be loud thrashing against a door, but then sometimes when I see others CTB i feel like it doesn't seem as violent, I think it kind of just depends on the person..
But anyways that's about it.. I keep really feeling like tonight might be my last night but then i don't know, feel so close yet so far.

I'm not sure whether the Snuggle Hitch is tied correctly. It looks like it's missing some turns. However, with the added stopper knot, your knot looks strong enough, and it should probably hold.

Yes, it looks like there's enough tail left. It looks okay to me.

The Arbor Knot looks like it's tied correctly, but it's hard to tell. The best way to know is to test it. If it tightens if you apply weight, then it's tied correctly.

When you prepare this setup, pull on the rope before you fully close the door, and pull the dumbbell up all the way until it leans against the door and the doorframe. With this setup, the function of the dumbbell is that it prevents the rope from sliding through the gap. The dumbbell doesn't really act as a counterweight, because it's too light, and this is why it should be pulled all the way up.

You can put some duct tape over the lock after you've locked the door. This should make it harder to unlock it.

Regarding noise, it's hard to predict, but convulsions usually last only for about 10–20 seconds. There can be body movements even after the convulsive stage, but they shouldn't be too intense.

I found out that the snuggle hitch tutorial i was watching had a bunch of comments saying it was tied incorrectly lolol, so i will make sure I fix it!! Also thank you so so much you are the goat

just buy a pull up bar for the anchor point, its meant to hold up body weight + it's more fool proof than the dumbbell method. My roommate used my set up and succeeded. as for the loudness, it shouldnt be too loud but also the storm could help if your neighbors are really nosy
