Resource Tourniquet method guide

[Jule_from_Germany]

Ok, I've read about this method for the first time. Is this kind of self strangulation? And once you lose consciousness, how big is the danger that the scarf or whatever you use gets loose and you wake up again, possibly with damage?

You can use something like this

But this method should be avoided, there are a lot of other good methods

I´m sending you a PDF book by PM.

Would doing it in a body of water help? Like going out to the sea and then using the tourniquet to pass out and then drown

I think it' easier to compress your carotid artery by using knots like the old lady in the photo instead of using the tourniquet

I don't get where the knots go with this...

Does anyone have the pictures from the original post? They seem to have been taken down.

From experience. Ratchet tie downs do not work. Applying the necessary pressure you will have to crank that until your neck feels like it will snap.

For me it also took too long and was too uncomfortable and too hard to do it quickly enough for not feeling your head will explode.

It has personally put me off of the ratchet tie down method.

This method simply does not seem like it works at all. I wish it did.

I have been working with this method for about 3 years and I think it is really not as easy as it is always made out to be.

It may be possible for people who have a rather thin neck to achieve the necessary pressure, but as soon as the neck is thicker (as is the case with me), absolutely nothing works and I am like many of you, I feel the massive pressure in my head, but I am by no means close to fainting, getting dizzy or other symptoms. This is independent of whether I attach the rope above or below the AA.

If anyone here has any tips for thicker necks, I would be extremely grateful!

it doesn't work with thin necks either.

Is a commercially sold ratcheting medical tourniquet an option?

Seems easier (one handed application) and safer (won't come undone or lose tension).

Purchased one in case of absolute emergencies

i wonder if she used elastic stockings here ?

This is the summary of the compression chapter in Five Last Acts for the lazy ones in our forum.
This guide is wrote by me this time, I hope it's comprehensible enough. I want to make this as simple as possible.

What is the tourniquet method?
The tourniquet method consists in compressing the carotid artery which is the blood vessel that supplies the head and the neck with oxygenated blood. If this vessel is closed quickly by pressure (3 kg), as in hanging, you will faint in 10 seconds and die in the next 15 minutes. The trick of the method is to simulate the pressure you would get by hanging yourself. And you do that by tightening a ligature above your Adam's apple (ex: scarf, towel, blanket, shoestring, cable) with a rod (stick, broom, pen, spoon, etc.).

The method


1. Find objects which you can use for the method. I will use a scarf and a stick in this guide, as models, but you can use anything you want. Even a shoestring and a spoon.

1.2 Find a place where you can sit and in which you're confident you'll be left alone for at least 1 hour.

2. Now you want to place your scarf high on the neck, above your Adam's apple, and tie a knot that won't slip. The gap between your ligature and your neck must be about three fingers. Insert the stick in the loop, close to your knot.

3. Apply pressure to your neck and begin to turn the stick. You will turn it clockwise. You will stop turning it when the ligature is tight enough to make you feel dizzy.

4. If you feel dizzy you'll now let go of the stick, If you do not feel dizzy it means that you didn't apply enough pressure to compress your carotid artery and you need to start again. This might take practice.

You will now faint in 10 seconds and die in 15 minutes.
