When I was testing this out. I didn't have random bean bags laying around lol.
So I just got some small socks and packed em with rice.

I'll have to see if I have any rice handy.

I guess even any dry beans or something like that... not super packed so if the strap goes it doesn't compress , but not so loose that you feel the strap.
If you do end up getting the bean bags. They come in different sizes so make sure it's enough to cover your carotid arteries but not hit the wind pipe.

Just a heads up with enough pounds of pressure 4-6 you can pass out pretty quickly 20 seconds roughly , once you cut the carotid arteries, just be mindfull doing dry runs with this method.

 

[wait.what]

I cut some raw potato ends and tried placing them between the bean bags and my neck. The potatoes were maybe 3" to 4" tall, and about the sharpness of a plastic Easter egg at the narrow end. The idea was to have firm but shapeable objects transmitting the pressure of the strap to the "sweet spot" where the carotid arteries come closest to the surface of the skin.

This did not work very well. The potatoes were slippery and could not be fixed in place. Maybe I should have used actual plastic Easter egg halves, perhaps filled with Great Stuff foam for stability…?

I will have to look into that, thanks
