Apologies if this comes off as redundant. I know there are various hanging threads on the site, but they are so dense that I have trouble finding exactlt what I'm looking for. Suffice to say, any responses here would be appreciated
So my method is full suspension. I have a 12mm, double-braided nylon dockline rope with more than enough strength to hold me up indefinitely (I know nylon is a touch stretchier, but I'm accounting for that in my setup). I plan to do a simple slipknot noose with a snuggle hitch around my anchor point.
Questions: (1) I've read that it's a good idea to lubricate the rope so it cinches tighter and faster. Is there anything specific I should use for that? (2) I've read various sources saying to use a metal ring/D-ring for comfort. None of what I've read on that topic makes sense or is easy to conceptualize. Anyone heard of this and can explain it in simpler terms? (3) Is it a good idea to pad the rope at all? I don't want to prolong consciousness, but does anyone know of anything I could use to make the rope feel more comfortable on my neck without compromising the efficacy of what I'm going for?
Thanks for your time! I send my love to all of the folks here.
