• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UKā€™s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

1. Does the width of the elastic drawcord matter?
Most guides recommend either 6 or 10 mm. What I have is 4 mm.
I do have thicker ones, but they are a bit less elastic and seem too tight.

2. Where should the end of the hose be inside the bag? Should I attach it close to the bottom or close to the mouth?

3. How tight should I tie the cord at the neck? How tight should it be if I stick a finger next to my neck?

I couldn't find the super-elastic drawcord like the one used in medical masks, so instead I'm using a thin rubber cord.
It's not as stretchy, but I can pull the bag onto my head with it still being tight at the neck. So it definitely does stretch.

Besides the mega thread, found this helpful on the bag itself

1. The width of the drawcord only matters in so much as it has sufficient enough elastic resistance to tighten and loosen the bottom of the bag. I got 1/4 elastic band, and while it's thin it still draws the bag closed tightly and opens. You may also want to think about elastic that will fit in your toggle

2. I don't see people talk about this a lot, probably because it doesn't matter much. I would think the best place to put it is where there would be little obstruction (your hair etc) so maybe off to the side of your head. I would put the hose in at least halfway.

3. It should be snug, two fingers rule. You want there to be a way for the gas to create a positive airflow pushing out cO2 and preventing ambient air from entering.

If the rubber cord you found satisfies all these requirements well, then you should be good to go. I've seen another user on here use a thin cord like that.

How do you tighten the toggle cord after you pull the bag down to your neck to tighten especially if you're on a panic state. The Final Exit book have advise sweatband. The sweatband is not right around neck. Haven't connected tube. The only elastic have been able to find to fit through toggle is crafting elastic. Is that okay or too thin? I am really stressed out.

Sorry meant to add sweatband rolled a few times around 19" wide turkey bag and taped. It's loose around neck. šŸ˜„
