Method Anyone on here was known to have done tourniquet or trying that method?

Was anyone on here known to have maybe done plain tourniquet method or whose trying that? I don't hve all the 'tools' for "Night Night" & in some ways it feels similar to though sort of "less dramatic" (set up wise) than partial - main fears: going half way- but not far enough & causing brain cell damage + being caught. But theoretically it should be quickish & looks simple - simpler perhaps that "Night Night". Thoughts ?

I've never heard of the tourniquet method before. I'm gonna have to look into this now. But I'm still impartial to.... partial. haha let's have a laugh

I tested with a scarf and found that it can be effective and that I needed to pull faster and tighter to avoid thr feeling of pressure from only closing the jugular veins instead of the carotid arteries.

I've done testing (stupidly) with an actual combat tourniquet, a CAT GEN 7, I believe. Those are great because there's a mechanism (basically a clip and velcro) to keep the windlass in place, so it won't come off. Only thing is, they are way more expensive then they have any right to be, (it cost me 40 € for basically a piece of plastic and velcro) so with that price you could probably consider bying the necessary stuff for the SN method.

I recommend this method. It's good. It can feel finicky at first, and the device can feel awkward, but stick (pun) with it and it can be very effective. However, do not practice unless with a friend, or you know you want to die and are okay with the idea of dying now. This is a lethal method. Once the dizziness kicks in, you have very little time to back out.

Would you elaborate on this, please? The same pressure is needed to lose consciousness and to die. It isn't possible to go far enough for you to pass out but not so far as to avoid death. What you should worry about, is the windlass coming off, which the combat tourniquet fixes. Alternatively you could use some tape.

I either felt lightheaded or an annoying pressure in my face. Any negative effects should be minimal if I stop when either of these occur and before passing out.

If passing out it is the same as dying now-thats ok with me- however I just keep getting the very horrible head/ eye pressure as soon as I turn it tightly - which I know indicates jugular as opposed to carotid pressure- obvs i can not locate or pressurise my caratoids accurately-despite extensive research- perhaps for some they are simply located to far in to the neck or something- i dont know.

I get the pressure & as it feels so so horrible- that is atleast in part what makes me stop.

I found that I wasn't tightening fast or hard enough when that happened. Hence why I tested using a scarf so I could get a more thorough understanding of the process.

I think speed is the key too-it is just hard I guess- the will power and immediate determination to do it with speed- but it is necessary for sure.
