Method Partial suspension

[_02aslademe]

Regarding ctb via partial suspension, how would one have to position the rope to completely block the arteries? I assume the same as a blood choke; the internal and external cartoid arteries (which, naturally, I've located); but how would I ensure they're blocked? How much force would have to be used to entirely shut off blood flow? I've read about 3 to 4 kilos are ideal but again I assume this is in a specific position (as in the rope or whatever it may be upon the neck).

I apologize for the several questions also but would this method be better replaced by a tourniquet or the aforementioned blood choke? If anyone has any advice, that would be greatly appreciated (*´꒳`*)

The general rule is - the higher the head from the ground and the thinner the ligature, the better the chance to cut off the carotids. But do complete if you can, as SI is a bitch both conscious and unconscious.

Some people have had more luck positioning the rope above the Adam's apple. Unfortunately, I've found that it really is a matter of trial and error finding that perfect position, but once you find it you'll know. Spotty vision, hearing going out, replaced with a buzzing sound.

You may find it easier restricting the carotid artery by lifting your head up as if to expose your neck. A thinner rope would definitely help either way.

I agree with the above poster, SI really is something you should not underestimate. Make sure your rope is secure on your neck and whatever you've attached it to, and use a slipknot. I say this because my attempt failed due to the rope coming loose while I was unconscious.
