Hello all,
This is my first post here.
I'm thinking of finally catching the bus. I live in a fairly rural area. I've been planning for years that when the time comes, I'll go to a secluded wooden area at night time. The temperatures here are below freezing (~25 Fahrenheit), so I'm thinking if I go outside, take a few sleeping pills, I'll just fall asleep until I freeze to death. I don't think the pills are crucial but I figure they'll help me deal with the unpleasantness plus further slow down my metabolism.
From everything I read here, I understand that hypothermia is not a recommended method. I know that if I'm discovered, I can be 'saved' and worse, potentially I can lose one or more limbs. It's a real risk and it's a scary one. I am aware of this. However, I think the risk is minimized if I go at night, without a phone, that there's no way I will survive beyond maybe 1 or 2 hours.
Is there something I'm not considering? Is this riskier than I'm anticipating? I'm a bit unsure why this method is not used more often in cold areas.
Many thanks
