Method Cold room method

[2muchpain]

why nobody mentions the méthod of taking Many sleeping pills, and enter a cold room, and wait for the end ...
It seems to be painless ?
Thanks for your comments .

I guess not many of us have a cold room ready

There's technically a ctb method of getting intentionally lost in winter and freezing. Taking sleeping pills and what not. But the concurrent problem is getting found too early

 

[andreamysk]

Even getting trapped in the Overlook Hotel labyrinth during a winter snowstorm might be an option... :-)

It doesn't seem peaceful at all. At least this is what I've read about the death of people that climbed mount Everest.

Rather, I've heard from a colleague about death in extremely hot regions, for example India or Pakistan, where the temperature could reach 50deg C.
They told me that if people go out and don't drink enough, they quickly get dehydrated without realizing it and they fall dead from heat stroke.
They said that it happens often with construction workers

From what I've read of hypothermia it's not too bad and even euphoric. Temps don't need to be extremely cold, just enough to lower the body's core temperature long enough. Most hypothermia deaths in the US are among the homeless and co-morbid with alcohol. Something to consider is any contact against another surface one is sitting or laying on will act as an insulator reflecting body heat and slowing the process. Water pulls the body heat away much faster. The floaters after the Titanic sunk lasted 15-30 minutes in -2 C (28 F) waters.

Heat is another story, 3 hikers died in Utah this year during triple digit temperatures and I don't think they were even out there that long, just day hiking. Happens here and there throughout the desert southwest in the US.

I don't know how hypothermia feels in the water. But having grown up in Canada, I don't envy people succumbing to the kind of cold that gets into your bones and feels like it's burning your skin.

That being said, I've heard of people dying in their sleep because of the cold many times, but they're usually old people; either they got stuck in their car or their home got a power outage. Maybe that's an option. Painkillers, sleeping pills, or even alcohol, those can go a long way I assume.

But then again, I've been super drunk in really cold weather, it still absolutely sucks once the cold really settles in

Freezing is worse than burning alive. It takes much longer too. Doesn't seem peaceful to me.

I live in Germany and I've been hiking in Austria on snowy mountains at under -10deg Celsius. I can tell that it's not pleasing at all. You shiver so badly, you feel your extremities getting ice cold and hurting long before you lose consciousness.
I've had this idea of laying down naked in the snow during winter time to kill myself, but having experiences the very cold seasons for all my life, it's not something so appealing to me.

Rather, I think that hot weather makes you feel more dizzy and tired, sleepy, and not hyper-awake as in the first minutes when you get exposed to cold.

Freezing to death is a weird one (which you should ideally do outside, unless it's a freezer I think an indoor freezing would be much harder and prolonged). It seems the jury is completely split on it - I hear it's either peaceful and euphoric or it's one of the worst ways to go imaginable. I would read into studies and stories of people who've gone through advanced hypothermia to see what you can glean.

Granted, the only official, systematic studies of people dying from hypothermia in real time are uh...uh... a bit yikes in origin but here you go: The Dachau Hypothermia Experiments

Freezing is worse than burning alive. It takes much longer too. Doesn't seem peaceful to me.

From what I understand, once you've reached the last stage of hypothermia you go through something called "paradoxical undressing" in which you take off all your clothes because once you've become as cold as you can get you feel like you're burning. I don't know if it compares to actual burning alive. All we have are stories from people who have gone through hypothermia and been saved at the end, or autopsies of people who died from it, who can't tell us how it felt.

However, I've read stories of people who have been close to dying of hypothermia and they did describe it as peaceful, zen, and nearly euphoric.

@2muchpain Do you live in an area that gets very cold in the winter? Maybe you could test the waters yourself by seeing how long you can withstand the cold without taking sleeping pills. Just see what it feels like to you first. Though I think if you do decide to take sleeping pills I think this method would work SO LONG AS you aren't found. Do you have access to a remote area where you could almost guarantee no one will pass by?

It depends on the temperature. Some athletes take ice baths after a workout. They submerge their entire body in a tub of ice-filled water. It's freezing for the first minute or two, but your body goes numb after that. I had a martial arts instructor that said he liked to train barefoot in the snow. He said his feet wouldn't feel anything after a while.

I dunno....getting passed out drunk/drugged in subzero temperatures doesn't sound that bad. I'm sure it's been done unintentionally a lot.

I've heard about people deliberately inducing hypothermia but I imagine it would be a bit of a challenge to get a room to the correct temperature and then stay at that temp for long enough.

I have considered ctb with hypothermia before, but I am afraid of being rescued and having to live with frostbite and lost limbs on top.
