Discussion Drowning without attaching weight

[curiousbeing]

So, In my posts, I wrote a lot about deodorant huffing. I am aware that it can be dangerous, it can cause brain damage while alive. But my method is drowning, so drowning itself occupied my whole thinking. And there was one HUGE problem about drowning: what if I lose my consciousness, fall down, but my face either faces upward and I end up breathing? Or, waves of sea push my body to shore, where sea is very shallow?

The solution was to go to as deep as I can, and then attach weights to backpack, make it as heavy as possible (like 40 kg) and be drowned. Backpack will make my body sink deeper, not float or be pushed to shore. The problem with this solution was that in freezing winter, I can't enter sea as deep as I can and also I don't know a way to make my backpack, say, 40 kg heavy. I can't carry such heavy backpack and aside from sand and stones from shore, I have nothing to fill my backpack and make it very heavy.


Yesterday, it suddenly occurred to me that there is a solution to this: simply, instead of attaching backpack to my body, I can simply use it as a plastic bag to seal my head, keep my head inside it and zip it. Inside sea, it would be incredibly easy to fill it with water, put it on my head, zip it. So, if I lose my consciousness and my face turns upward, my head will still remain inside backpack full of water. Even if backpack somehow starts leaking water, since it's inside sea, water will enter inside it. Water will enter inside it even if i am pushed to near shore by waves, although shallow, near shores also have sea water.


How do you think? I think that now, finally, I can be 100% convinced that my method will work, even if I don't use deodorants or anything else. Assuming I won't be quickly found, hypothermia and drowning will be effective, especially if I am not found within 1 hour of drowning

It's all starting to sound very complex, if all you require to drown is your face and mouth submerged, would it work if you attached your backpack to your chest instead of your back ? Even a few stones or dead weight should be enough to keep you face down no matter how shallow the water.

I didn't think of this. Yes, this is much more simple!!! Thanks for your message, depression really makes me overthink and complicate everything.

This is much more simpler than either making backpack so heavy it sinks my whole body or attaching it to my head.

The only advantage of making backpack very heavy and sinking my whole body is that my body will be kept hidden inside sea. But I don't know how much weight is required, I heard it must be at least 20 kg heavy. I can't find such heavy stuff, and 20 kg or even 10 kg heavy things inside may rip backpack and so I end up floating instead of sinking deeper

your reply was exactly what I needed! Thank you. With attaching backpack to my chest, my hands will remain free, my face won't be locked inside anything so I can inhale deodorants too (so far, I couldn't find refrigerants). Deodorants unfortunately can be very irritating though. They add this irritation to discourage people from inhaling them, I think

I heard they sell special products for filling up empty lighters with butane. They are small, similar to deodorants in that you press button and they release gas stored inside them into lighters. I can also buy them, if I can find

But these things are all optional. Once I am deep inside sea, either hypothermia will quickly knock me out or I will be so nervous / excited I won't care to use deodorant, refrigerant or anything else.
But yeah, now I happily believe that my method is 100% complete, assuming I won't be found within one hour at evening / night. I was thinking for ages how can I avoid floating and suddenly breathing.

I'm just going to try passing out and drowning in the bath like a lot of people seem to do accidentally. Alcohol+sedatives. It might take a few attempts, but I like this method

Here sedatives are all sold with prescription, it's hard to get them. That's why I Ended up using deodorant huffing as sort of sedative. Only some painkillers are sold without prescription

Thanks. Your method is also effective. Drowning itself is very effective method. Hopefully we will find peace

You do not necessarily need 20kg in order to sink; see my post here.

Thanks. I calculated. I need only 8kg

Be careful tho. Freezing water can allow you to survive for up to an hour. If someone spots you and tries to rescue you, it could ruin the plan.
