So my Cornhole sacks and gorilla tape have arrived in the mail. I decided to test out the new equipment using the Night Night method with solely Gorilla Tape and two Cornhole sacks (plus newspaper around the back of my head in case of failure). I did make an effort to ctb, but due to my inexperience with the area, I missed it this time. I laid down on my back to set the sacks into place, and that wasn't easy, they were still having trouble staying put, and due to the density and width of the sacks, it was tough to apply the gorilla tape and hit the correct arteries at the same time. Like the post said, I avoided the windpipe. I tried to have the sand in the bags lean toward the carotid arteries, to use an inward side compression, but easier said than done. The bags are not lying flat on the neck, they have to be secured as indicated in the Night Night diagram.
While I do have confidence this method works, here's where I believe things need to be modified. Precision seemed to be the easy part with Cornhole sacks (i mean can't miss practically), it was the process of wrapping and applying pressure with precision intact which seemed to be the most difficult factors involved. The initial one wrap around needs to be done accurately to set a good foundation in place.
First, the Cornhole sacks are brand new and they're quite wide. I feel i need to break them in more to make them more malleable. They were stiff and it was tough to tighten them using only gorilla tape. It felt like one of those shitty airplane pillows you get on airlines.
Second, wrapping gorilla tape around the neck is a bitch. It is not easy to do. Holding the roll and wrapping, or just cutting out long pieces, i had a tough time doing this.
After I had committed the initial wrap around, I stood up and began wrapping as tightly as possible. I believe the Cornhole sacks were just to stiff, wide, and dense. They began applying pressure against each other, rather than pressurizing the desired areas indicated in the method. I'm still confident in the Cornhole sacks, but they def need to be broken in really well.
After disassembling and trying to get it right, I decided to lay down on my bed with my head hanging off the edge in a free fall. This no doubt helped tighten the pressure and I felt that if I applied more pressure using my hands that I indeed was going to pass out. The only issue was that if I let go of my hands, it wasn't enough, so if I passed out, that's probably the best i was going to get after my hands fell to the side.
I'm going to start pounded a bit on the Cornhole sacks so they get nice and broken in. I'm also going to order a tree ratchet for the wrap. I believe the gorilla tape definitely helps to set things in place initially, but the ratchet will no doubt take the extra step I need to catch the bus. I had to rely on brute strength to get the tape around my neck, whereas the ratchet is mechanized.
I believe I went wrong in my initial lay down wrap. I believe next time I do this, I will have my head hanging pointed downward off the edge of a bed while I wrap. This no doubt leveraged the pressure on the target area for me. I believe I will continue to wrap in this position when the ratchet comes in. It's tough to execute the wrap around without letting things get out of place. It needs to feel like a boa constrictor wrapping around after the initial wrap to set things in place. That requires a lot of pressure, although the process itself was not that painful, more like a feeling of claustrophobia.
My experience was generally positive as I learned more about the technique, but I am somewhat disappointed that I missed the bus as well. I went through a whole roll of gorilla tape, and the sacks definitely needed to be broken in a lot more. Sort of like a baseball mitt back in little league.
