Your true thoughts on CO (charcoal)?

[Boots2Scoots]

So the CO method is what I've been set on for a little bit now. After doing some reading about it, it seems like a fairly peaceful method if done right. I'm confident in being able to pull it off successfully even though I don't have a meter. (Gotta make sure most of my funds go to helping the people in my life)

I can source everything easily, have a solid vehicle for it, will get tin tape for sealing etc. Very confident in my ability to make a sealed area. Even have some stuff to help me relax while setting it up/going into it. I don't really have time to source SN and everything else for it, I'm on a tight schedule.

My question is, what are your thoughts on the CO method? Why or why wouldn't you do it this way if you were to ctb? If you would do it, what's holding you back?

I think it sounds rather nice. CO deaths seem to be pretty peaceful, though I have never researched stories from survivors. This method can be tricky to set up as you have to make sure to basically have an air-tight seal on your environment, which can be difficult. You also need to make sure it is far away enough from any other living thing that you do not accidentally take someone with you. I am a science person so I would want to buy a CO meter but the ones that go high enough for suicide are rather expensive.

Other than that, this seems like a great way to go. If I had a car I would get a tent and do this somewhere in the woods surrounded by nature. I think it would be nice.

It sounds like you know what you are doing. I hope you find peace!

agree !

I read a death by this method in a bathroom - but its all about ... "air-tight seal on your environment, which can be difficult".

In the US, bags of charcoal contain the warning that burning it indoors can result in fatal carbon monoxide poisoning. No hermetic sealing required.

I've thought about that method for a while. A bit afraid of brain damage if it fails. For this reason it would be best to buy a CO analyser (not a simple CO meter, so I've learned) that will measure up to 10.000 ppm (and more). Above 12.800 ppm you'll be out in minutes.

But for a quick death, you need quite high levels of CO, in which case you need to have a sealed environment. Yes, charcoal in a car could kill you over the course of hours, or you could seal the car and die in minutes.

I have been considering this as well, I just worry about a tent still not being sealed enough. The CO Meter is why it's a must as you mentioned, you just have to be sure about this method, it will cause brain damage otherwise and then you're just left off even worse than before and with no chance of attempting.

That's been my biggest fear in all of this. I really don't want to wind up brain dead. And I don't want anybody to find me alive. But at this point it's a risk that I'll have to take without the meter. I know I'll be able to seal the vehicle very well. It's just a matter of actually doing it.
In recent time I never thought this is a road.I would go down but at this point life I'm left with no other option.Unless I want to continue to be the thing that I hate the most. Sorry for the bad grammar.I'm using speech to text

CO was one of my prefered methods untill I found out risk of failure is high and in that case serious injury is very likely of brain/organ damage. There are to many parameters that need to be controlled and can easily result in failure or bad symptoms like nausia head aces brain damage organ damage that will get you in an irreversable condition with no way to CTB again. For That reason Im considering inert gas with exit bag that is consideded more reliable and less chances of injurys. Though it may require more preparation and more technicall equipment for around $400. This method is strait from the pph and its scientific. Los of contiosness in 2 to 3 breaths. Death within 4 to 10 minites.
