I’d be interested to hear from people’s experiences of this too, particularly with regard to whether or not the neck was padded and also where they placed the knot.
I tied mine at the back of the neck, and didn’t pad the neck. It was really, really horrible. Won’t go into the gruesome details, but it’s definitely not what movies make it out to be. Drowning is definitely the most peaceful way to go (though even that failed for me).
This. The pain will only last a few minutes at most. But the pain we suffer everyday is what pain really feels like. It’s nothing compared in my opinion.
I have no idea but! it can’t be fun, I really don’t know of a way anyone can die with out some pain mentally or physically, the good news is once you do die all pain will be over permanently. your last thoughts or amount of pain you do have will be forgotten immediately. However if your worried about what your last seconds being alive will be like i wouldn’t suggest hanging, completely miserable!
According to the Geo Stone book you pass out after just a few seconds if you compress the carotid artery. You can put the loop behind the neck with a secure knot high in front of your face. In this way the carotid is cut off and you don’t compress the windpipe. You shouldn’t have to endure much pain/ discomfort using this technique I would guess.
I don’t know about trusting that you’ll figure out how to do a short-drop that will only take a few seconds to pass out. Sounds like wishful thinking. The one hanging survivor I know found it painful and distressing. Your body will involuntarily fight it.

Hanging will probably be my method; unless I can get a gun one day. I want it to be least messy as possible
I’m sure it hurts like Hell, but what is that to our pain day and night, am I right?
