Heya everyone, im planning on CTB in about 2-3 weeks (depending on how i feel), my method has changed from SN to partial (due to difficuiltes and anxiety regarding SN, especially after seeing videos of it), i was wondering the following:
- I got polypropylene film, 12mm in dimension and 30m in length (will obviously have to cut it shorter), does this sound right? I heard the material had high tensile strength and low flexbility and hence makes it optimal for partial.
- I do not want to traumatize the EMS when they do find me, i have heard alot of partial hangings have a result where the individual is found with their tounge swollen and sometimes blue, protuding out of their mouth. My question is: Is there any way to prevent this from happening, or atleast minimize the risk?

Thanks!

Get a static arborist rope from yale, samson, or Teufelberger (brand) U can buy it by the foot. They are also called kernmantle ropes. please don't use cheap Chinese ropes off Amazon. And make sure u have a proper anchor point.

And u don't need to cut the rope. u can let the excess rope hang off the bowline knot.

EMS see a lot of traumatic things much worse than a partial hanging. So I wouldn't worry about that too much.
