Method Would this work?

[number212]

May be a dumb question, sorry.
Would using a thick cable to hang yourself work? Is there any way to make it work?
Thanks in advance.

Do you know anything about it? If you don't know the specifics on how strong it might be, I wouldn't trust it. Are you not able to buy rope?

I don't know much about it.
Not able to buy rope at the moment, no. What would be the next best option?

I can't tell you to use something I'm not sure about

If I was in that situation and had no other options, I would prepare my setup and just grab a hold of the cable and pull myself up and wiggle from it for a bit to really try to assess it's ability to withstand my weight

Anything that holds your weight by tying it around your neck works. Obviously it has to hold your body for a few minutes. 30 minutes is what they usually recommend here, but you die much sooner. You have to be completely suspended for it to work well.

Good to know, thanks. I'll test if it can hold my weight.
