I still have a little trouble understanding. Are we better doing the nitrogen tank in the car? Also when we become unconscious will we be trying to rip the bag off?

No, don't try to turn your car into a N2 tent; it will take too much N2 to fill the car and adequately displace the air. The reason a bag is used is to create a small space for the N2 to adequately fill.I still have a little trouble understanding. Are we better doing the nitrogen tank in the car?
There are conflicting accounts. A few say that some people have tried to remove the eb once they fall unconscious. Most say that people do not try to tear the bag away. I personally believe I (and you) will not claw the bag away.Also when we become unconscious will we be trying to rip the bag off?
No more complicated than the people trying to get the right combination to OD, or right anti sickness routine, getting the sweet spot to hang. With every method something can go wrong as we have heard many times on here. Even problems sourcing N eventhough that method seems to have a very high success rate. You construct and exit bag, displace the oxygen and breathe the inert gas. The bag used is a turjey roastibg bag, not difficult to source. In the uk a 5l is enought but ive gone for 10 as that was the smallest i coukd source near me and allows for more gas just to make sure, in the US 22cf, some are using 40cf. The method is only difficult if you make it, there is plenty of stuff on here, exit videos just got to actually take some time to look as with all other methods if you really want it to workPersonally I find the exit bag method somewhat combersome and convoluted.
You need the right gas, then you need a bag that fits the requirements (not just standard, but what works for you) and a flow regulator, the latter possibly depending on the type of gas. A typically, the volume of gas supplied is small.
It should be more simple. More complicated, more things can go wrong.
I'll use a thick plastic bag or something then to shape it with enough space? thanksPlease watch out. When the plastic bag get touched your mouth and nose because of deep breathing, you have no positiv effect of the innert gas. Some people get failed because of this.
It's a balance between having a small enough bag to easily fill with inert gas and a large enough bag that it doesn't crowd your face. I've found that my turkey-sized bag seems to strike a good balance. (Yes, me the turkey in a turkey-roasting bag does seem appropriate, doesn't it?)I used to think a bigger bag would be better since it dilutes the CO2?
I don't have any trouble, but I also do drills, just having it over my face, filled with air, for a few minutes at a time to get used to it. It has actually been easier on the times I've failed to ctb: during a drill, when it's just air, the bag fogs up, but when I'm flushing it with N2 the steady flow of gas carries away the condensation and the bag remains clear.Worried now, hoped not to feel claustrophobic as well
That is an excellent point that I wouldn't have considered: if the bag closes off your nose and mouth it ceases to be a situation where you're breathing an inert atmosphere and becomes one where you're being stifled/suffocated. Yes, that would likely result in a failed attempt.When the plastic bag get touched your mouth and nose because of deep breathing, you have no positiv effect of the innert gas.

I have been doing drills too. How long do you leave it on? I'm also worried about the bag bunching up but then if we weren't found for several hours I'm sure that part wouldn't be a problem.
It depends on the drill.I have been doing drills too. How long do you leave it on? I'm also worried about the bag bunching up but then if we weren't found for several hours I'm sure that part wouldn't be a problem.
So would you call them "successful failures" since your'e back in one piece? I'm worried about the bad failuresIt depends on the drill.
Just getting used to having the bag over my head, so that it feels natural, I'll leave it on until my hypercapnic alarm starts to jangle --which takes a surprisingly long time. Several minutes? Enough for me to twiddle my thumbs, get bored, go to the bathroom, return to the living room, get more bored...
If I'm practicing for that critical <exhale-bag down-deep inhale> first step, that only takes a moment, but I'll run that process several times in a row to try and make the process second nature for when I'm doing it with the N2 flowing.
You need to remember, though: I've failed three times, so don't take my drill process as any guarantee. This is just my latest attempt to mentally prepare properly. My equipment is all good, it's just my mind that's sabotaging me. I hope others here will add to this thread if their own mental preparations specific to the eb+ig equipment seem to be doing them some good.
As for bag collapse, if the elastic is fairly snug and you've got the gas flowing at the recommended 15Lpm the bag shouldn't collapse until the tank runs empty. The recommended minimum size tank --20cf here in the US-- holds 600L and will take approximately 40 minutes to empty. By that time the bus should be long gone. BUT, your concern is a good emphasis of how important it is to get both a large enough tank and the right flow rate.
Any chance you could post a link? I haven't any idea how she would have managed either a visor or a "tandem" bag, but I know I'd like to have that visor, and as for the tandem... There was a time my beloved and I might have chosen that route.I saw this videi online where a woman did a project on suicide design for her masters degree and being pro-choice, one design she had for exit bag included a visor built inside the bag, it seemed to function where the visor kept the bag from sticking to your nose and mouth. Another design was an exit bag for 2 adults to share, example, a couple wants to pass together, and it went over the 2 heads, and it was connected in the middle

Not all that appropriate for thus thread?P.S. I just found a song about the exit bag - check out Self Deliverance by Keelie - the album name is Exit Bag
Well, that's.... super. I'm gphooe it's not for some morbid reason cos that's how it comes acrosssuper interesting to me
Not all that appropriate for thus thread?
Trolling? Great place. Go back to harassing people less vulnerable. Think you can do that?This thread is about exit bags so...
@Kdawg2018, that's a very good site. Thank you.https://productsofdesign.sva.edu/blog/masters-thesis-sincerely
Check that site, there should be a couple videos on there, super interesting to me
Easy on, ladies and gents. We're all here because we're thinking of EBs, one way or another.
@Kdawg2018, that's a very good site. Thank you.
Especially interesting to me is that while the "tandem" eb is meant for inert gas asphyxiation, judging by the text the eb with the visor isn't an inert gas asphyxiation eb, it's the "old style" approach of heavily-sedated suffocation.
I can tell you only that I have three times been at the edge of blacking out and removed my eb --but it was not a panic response, exactly. It's difficult to explain, but it was as though I was two people, and one of them said, "no, not today," took command of my body, and removed the bag over the howling objections of the other. It was intensely frustrating, I can assure you!I haven't attempted with my exit bag, but the main concern I have is trying to take it off.
