This seems like a fairly accessible method, like it would be possible to keep these in your bag at all times in case you want to CTB. Do you think you would put them all loosely around the neck and then quickly tighten, or one at a time?

One at a time

I don't get why you need more than one for this???

I think the second one is a failsafe. If one of the zip-ties breaks then the second one will still be there

I read something indicating I would still be able to breathe with this method, just compressing the carotids... I'm unsure of how to achieve this.

"This article reports an autopsy of a 39-year-old deceased male who had done suicidal strangulation using multiple self-locking cable ties. The deceased used seven ligatures, constricting at a different level around the neck to accomplish the suicidal strangulation. Each ligature was made up of two cable ties attached to each other. The detailed autopsy examination and crime scene investigation confirm the manner of strangulation as suicidal. Suicidal strangulation is uncommon but not rare. Varying ligature materials and different locking methods were used for this purpose. The present case is remarkable because of the use of multiple self-locking zip cable ties as ligature material."
