Death by hypothermia.

[TheRealoTvErTKA1337]

I've been looking forward towards hypothermia death, next winter, when it's around minus 28-35 degrees. Not so fast, but I feel I can resist hour of pain. Is it good method? 5+ hours at least before body can be found, no warm clothes. Is it 100% lethal and humanely, no blood, no gore, your thoughts?

If you are fully conscious through the process, it will be a very brutal way to go. The only way for it to be relatively peaceful, is to be heavily sedated through drugs/alcohol so you are effectively asleep during the worst part of it.

I've somehow seen these two common CTB 'non-methods' posted so often here (ineffectively slow stuff, likely to fail because fear and strong hallucinations (eventually) may set in):

- CTB due to extreme high/low temperatures (takes hours or longer if it even works)
- VSED/VSE/VSD (Voluntarily stopping eating and/or drinking) is slower, (taking day(s) to month(s) depending on what is stopped... if it even works)

I'd avoid them if possible, as they can unfortunately, make one feel worse and waste time.

maybe it's not that bad if u manage to pass out v vodka. still extremely long and painful and there's a high chance of limb amputation when the body discovered too early. if u go to freeze in a forest u may be labeled as a missing person and ppl will deploy searching groups just to find (or not) a corpse that'll surely traumatize (or not they supposed to be trained for this shit) more ppl than ur family members. also this method is viable only several months per year even weeks or less bc winters can be warm in the temperate regions like it's more practical just to get rope

Isn't it takes like a hour to die due to hypothermia? Or even 45 minutes without clothes.

depends on temperature, moisture, etc

in cold water maybe. it takes minimum several hours unclothed and w strong wind (liek in this case balcony was involved)

"IVANOVKA, RUSSIA A 30-year-old Russian YouTuber who goes by the nickname Stas Reeflay, whose full name is Stanislav Reshetnikov, was booed by his viewers during a live stream to lock his girlfriend on the balcony in only her underwear. He even received a financial gift of 1000 dollars for it. His 28-year-old girlfriend, Valentina Grigoryeva, was in the early stages of pregnancy. When he opened the balcony door, he couldn't help but wonder. He found her hypothermic. "Valya, Valya, damn, you look like you are dead.", "Valya, are you alive? My bunny, what's up with you?", he told her. He then announced to the audience that he could feel no pulse or heartbeat. She died. He continued to stream even with her dead body. The stream lasted two whole hours."

this hass gotten me thinking but its far too warm to take a dip at night and sleep next to the river but theres an amazing spot i have

imo, there is not enough evidence to determine if hypothermia is a viable method, if you are looking for something 'peaceful'.

It seems if temperatures are TOO cold, it can be very painful. The goal is to get your body at a temperature that is fatal but not at the point where you are getting so much frostbite. Unless you are someone like me who does not care about the pain.

I would guess a place with heavy wind chill would be ideal, but that is only a hypothesis.

I know during hypothermia, your brain gets all confused, so it makes me wonder if it might not be all bad mentally

One other thing about this method that is worth considering, is that it might be beneficial for those who struggle with survival instinct. If you go hiking in a cold secluded area, by the time the survival instinct takes over, it might already be too late even if you turn around.

The nazi regime compiled detailed research into this topic. A quick summary can be found on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_human_experimentation#Freezing_experiments. It is brutally painful, especially if not sedated, with many test subjects 'screaming in pain as their bodies froze'. I'd avoid such a method if possible.

This is true and while I don't think it's an easy method, I have to say the nazis had no intention of gradually cooling down their test subjects. Prisoners went from clothed inside to naked outside or immersed in freezing water. I think it will probably be different if sedated with at least alcohol and with gradual cold exposure, I've heard at some point you stop shivering and actually feel warm.
