Help Is this the right slipknot for partial hanging?

[TheGoodGuy]

Or please send a link with the right one if this is the wrong one.

Yeah, slipknot is one of the knots used. But you might want to do more than one wrap-around for the knot if that makes sense.

How so can you post a video at how this is supposed to be done?

Unfortunately, I don't have a video. I'll try to explain maybe through a picture?

Except when you make the loop in the first step, make a few loops. That's the simplest slipknot I know of.

I just tried that but I don´t get how I can make more loops than one.


I found this one with this there are several loops but it just seems like a hangmans noose and not a slipknot even though it says "slipknot" in the picture.

Sorry for such a late reply. I couldn't access this site for a while and I made a video that took a bit to upload. I used strong in the video just cause it was the closest thing to me. In the video I wrapped it twice, but you can do as many as you want to get more "rings" on the knot.

Can the knot come unraveled? With the weight of body

The knot shouldn't come unraveled, the only thing you have to worry about is the rope itself breaking from the weight. And of course whaf it's tied to. It's a slipknot, the knot tightens more when you pull on the loop.

Ok. My slipknot just a basic one with one loop

One loop is alright, but make sure it holds. Two is better, but one will work as well. When you say loop, you do mean the number of loops for the knot right?

Yes. Was planning on tying it around something heavy and lifting it to see if it holds

Are you sure you're tying it right? You can test to see if it holds after, the knot has to be tied right first.

The rope itself comes unraveled from my boot. Not the knot itself

Could you explain the setup more in detail? I don't understand, sorry.

The fibers of the rope come unglued and it unravels.

It looks like everything is right, maybe you're not using the right part of the rope to tie it to your anchor. There's two ropes that come off the knot, make sure the one that pulls the main loop together is the one tied to your anchor/what you tie the rope to. I don't get how it can come unraveled.

Yeah just tried it and it works :) thanks
