The instruction available on how to make an DIY exit bag with elastic is SOO much more complicated than the instructions for it and the videos as well. The design of it is very confusing that's why I had settled for the sweatband method. I found the Betty video and Doing it with Chi which is fine and all BUT what they fail to mention when making that "slit/cut" is to not cut through the whole bag and only stop in the between the two layers. This may be common sense for people but to me......it was not. When watching the videos I was trying to visualize the steps and it was just not making any sense to me on how the elastic would stay stick inside the bag to be able to close and open. I then physically tried doing it with the videos as guidance and the first time I cut through the two layers because they did not show and mention to be very careful, pull apart the two layers and only cut through the first layer so it's in between the two. All they said was "Make a slit". So when I did cut through the layers and then "threaded" the elastic, It just "fell" inside the bag and I was THOROUGHLY confused. I then just thought of it myself that maybe we only cut the first layer. I did the trial again doing just that and it worked. *Sigh* you know I greatly appreciate the PPeh and videos/sources like this but they really need to be detail oriented, no wonder people find it frustrating and give up. Also in the final exit when it just says "attach the tube to the regulator"........Bruh explain how?!?!?!?! Also the ppeh has a different way to make the exit bag than the video. The steps are in a different order with all the tape and crap. It's so much more complicated than they describe and just leave you hanging with general outlines. People are in depressed fucked up stressful situations when viewing these sources and your just gonna be vague and confusing? It's frustrating because this is literally someone's death we are talking about not some easy arts and crafts project. Every little detail has to be looked at. But anyways I have figured it out and if they just explained it properly it could have saved me HOURS of research. If anyone needs any help THE EASY SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONAL WAY. I can help. The sweatband method is pretty straightforward but I can help with that also. Also do we NEED micropore tape? I have other tape and really don't wanna spend more money as I have already put in a lot of money on this.
