I guess the cold water temperature is around 10-15C. If you sit long enough, could you pass out and eventually die ?
An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

It would have be to very, very cold, like even below freezing and stuff. This table is a good reference to go by. Based on that table, you'd need to be well below that temperature and even then, it could still take a while to get hypothermia and then eventually die.
Yes indeed it would take time. Much time to reflect upon ones actions. When I had watch in the Navy we were always reminded that if swept overboard in the North Atlantic in the colder months you had about four minutes before hypothermia takes you and pulls you under. I cannot say for sure but in the case of a long term exposure before hypothermia induces death; the muscle spasms would be quite painful. Shuddering is the body's way of trying to warm itself and protect the inner organs from dying. However; in the final few minutes your body will do exactly the opposite. It will suddenly force all the blood to your extremities. This is extremely painful. But soon after follows the shutdown of all organs and death.
I am not knocking your choice of methodology ( if that is your choice of course) just sharing that which I know to be true. Good luck whichever path you choose friend.
I heard that near death one takes off all clothes and finds a small space to curl up in.
Normal cold tap water isn't going to do it.
At that temperature, it would take about half an hour (assuming you're submerged or mostly submerged) before you're at risk of unconsciousness and about an hour after that to die (again, assuming you stay submerged or mostly submerged, rather than floating to shore or whatever). I think you're seriously underestimating how much force of will it's going to take to voluntarily stay in a shallow spring, shivering to death for half an hour.
Oh, and as it's cold water, you have to lengthen the period of time after death before you're discovered - there have been documented cases of people being revived several hours after death in cold water, because the lowered temperatures slow down cell death.
Doesn't sound like a great plan to me, but I suppose it could work if you have a particularly strong force of will about it and give yourself enough time.
Wait are you saying even when they were in very cold water for hours and hours they didnt die of hypothermia? So the hypothermia chart is absolutely useless? How is that possible? Shouldnt the cold water drop their core temperature vastly?At that temperature, it would take about half an hour (assuming you're submerged or mostly submerged) before you're at risk of unconsciousness and about an hour after that to die (again, assuming you stay submerged or mostly submerged, rather than floating to shore or whatever).

Hi AnjeI read it could even take 2 hours to die (but im small with little body fat). I plan on getting neck float so just my head is afloat. The long time is mostly for drowning. At that temperature one should die of hypothermia anyways. I would have to attach myself via rope to a nearby tree as theres a current. If i can get my hands on some sleeping pills i think that could help too.. if only my gp will give them to me.

Hi Anje
I am unable to reply to you when you PM me. Let's just say I have done my research and I know how to make it work
None. I like my privacy. To be honest, I probably wont share my methods as I dont want others copying me and also insurance reasonsDo you skype, email or facebook?
Yeah but if the water is below 4 celcius they should die from hypothermia in 2 hours or so before drowning is a factor. Thats what confuses me. I have read some people surviving very long time which really sucks. Youd hope the chart is every casethe charts correct. i think hes talking about people under icy water, the cold water slow down brain death or something. they will still die eventually, but the cold keeps them alive for another few hours. you'll be unconscious anyway, so as long as you dont get discovered you'll still die
Does very cold water actually slow down hypothermia??? The place im thinking of is minus 4 degrees to 4 degrees. No idea why there is such a range.the charts correct. i think hes talking about people under icy water, the cold water slow down brain death or something. they will still die eventually, but the cold keeps them alive for another few hours. you'll be unconscious anyway, so as long as you dont get discovered you'll still die
So you are just gonna wait till you find a partner and tell them on the spot? Or just go by yourself.None. I like my privacy. To be honest, I probably wont share my methods as I dont want others copying me and also insurance reasons
I'm a loner, most probably would do it alone...So you are just gonna wait till you find a partner and tell them on the spot? Or just go by yourself.
You also have to take into consideration other factors, such as room temperature. You are very unlikely to die of hypothermia from tap water, in the middle of summer, inside your house.according to this chart you can die in water as warm as 10degree C in just 1-3 hours. you can get 10 C water from tap.

You're kind of comparing apples to oranges there, but feel free to try it. I'd bet money, though, that you'll probably just end up uncomfortable with an elevated water bill.But if your submerged in the cold water then why does room temperature matter? It would seem that being in 10 c water is being in 10 c water regardless of the air temperatures. If your getting a constant supply of cold water from the tap then the warm air doesnt get a chance to warm up the water or body fast enough.
Just like If u go inside a walk-in freezer in summer, even with a crack of the door open its still freezing temperatures in the freezer as long as its running and fresh cold air is filling the freezer faster than the warm air from outside can go in. So regardless of the outside summer weather being in a freezer will still freeze.

I mean, when's the last time you ever heard of something like this happening? Ever?
