Ligature Strangulation or Tourniquet

[OzymandiAsh]

Is anyone on SaSu known to have CTB'd successfully with either LS or a military style tourniquet?

I'm considering doing a makeshift tourniquet method like this guy:

Apparently he twisted the wood plank there twice and he was out.

I have a couple exercise bands, if I fit something in like a plank or vacuum pipe and twist, that should create enough force to suffocate me. I can go under my bed and place the plank/bar/pipe or whatever against the frame to stop it unwinding.

I tested this method and it worked very well. I used a wooden kitchen spatula, inserted it in the exercise band around my neck, and twisted a few times until the pressure increased. The spatula stayed put easily, it didn't automatically unwind.

I'm pretty excited about this... If my primary method of tying a thin rope around a black bin bag and my neck doesn't work, this should.

Appatently that's a fabric belt in the photo rather than an exercise band as I assumed, however I have tried this with an exercise band and it seemed to work just as well or better (had to twist the spatula 10+ times though).
