Thank you for your input! Exit Bag would be a smooth way to go. I might be too paranoid that one of the components would go wrong though. What is your method of choice?
I agree! Thank you for your reply! I'm confident in my ability to construct the Exit Bag method, but with this sort of thing, I can't take any chances. If I throw up and fail with SN, I'd have enough left over to get right back to it several times. I'll drive to a location where no one is around so there is no chance of being found.
Thank you for responding! Those are my sentiments exactly! I've been reading PPH and Stan's Guide too. I just think that this is the one topic that I could never get enough information and opinion on so I could make the best decision. Are you going to use anti emetics or other meds?
Hi Friend
Thank you for the response! It will definitely take a great deal of courage when it comes time to put down the poison and keeping it down is the real challenge here.. I'm sorry to hear about that happening to you, this world is fucked up in more ways than we could imagine and we have found a way to have a final victory over it in our own way.
Hi Friend
Thanks. It's a blessing, really. Truly, I can't wear a mask and carry one in case I end up in a hospital but I'm also glad to have an out - masks in July when four people in my city have it, and probably "asymptomatic" at that. Haha! I qualify for the Exemption with pride
I know what ya mean. I have no idea how I am going to react in those final minutes. I might be calm, I might be crying, or maybe in full blown panic. But to make sure SI doesn't make me call someone, I will be leaving my phone at home and be in a remote location. Exit Bag is pretty much equally as good of an option to me but they have different strengths and weaknesses.
His guide has been very helpful and so has everyone on this forum. I am so grateful for everyone here who are willing to offer their insight!Hi Friend
Well tbh I am following Stan's Guide So All The Information Is On There That I Will Be Using & Doing
Peace & Hugs
The exit bag from the PPeH is not very difficult to obtain and put together, at least in the US. All that is required is a small cylinder of inert gas, a flowmeter regulator for the specific gas, possibly an adapter for the output for connecting plastic tubing, the plastic tubing, and the bag with elastic cord inside a "hem" at the opening. It does take some research to understand what items to buy and where to purchase them, but it is not that difficult, even for people that don't have any technical knowledge or ability, as long as one is willing to ask questions. I feel that the discussion on this forum about using other ways to deliver the gas such as masks, etc. makes this method sound much more difficult than it is. Using the simple, proven bag is much more preferable to any kind of mask that I have no information about how effective it is. Also, the Mad Dog Brewing regulator has confused people into thinking they need this 'click' style regulator, when a flowmeter regulator from a welding supplier is much easier and cheaper to obtain for any inert gas, not just nitrogen.
Well, what actually could go wrong if not one of those things? There is not much left.
I was worried about one of the components malfunctioning or air getting into the bag somehow
The effect will be the same for any of the inert gases: brain death due to lack of oxygen, which I believe is the same for SN. The two purposes of the inert gas flow are 1) to displace the carbon dioxide being exhaled into the bag which, if it were inhaled, would cause distress due to hypercapnia, which is excess CO2 in the bloodstream, and 2) prevent fresh air from entering the bag. The gases themselves don't affect the body.
If an exit bag is used, rather than any type of mask, and the bag itself is constructed as described in the Exit International (EI) "DIY with Betty" video , the tubing is connected securely, and the person is seated in a partially reclined position in a solid chair that he can't fall or slump out of, I believe the bag will stay in place correctly based on the experience of EI. The only other component remaining is the flowmeter regulator, and those tend to be extremely reliable due to their simplicity. The 15 l/m flow of gas from the bag around the neck will prevent any air from entering the bag.
