Hi, anybody have stastics on how successful the charcoal method is? Like is there many users who attempt this and have passed? I've tried Nitrogen with a hood and can't tolerate the gas as it gives me severe headache before passing out. If I burn 2 kg of charcoal in each pot totalling to 2 starting them with a chimney and placed them in a sealed tent with thick plastic sheets duct taped everywhere, so it's as sealed as can be. I will use sleeping pills and when I enter I will likely lose consciousness pretty quickly. Is there a chance I still survive? Any recommendations.

I very nearly succeeded with Charcoal in an enclosed area but was randomly found. I foundation excess of sleeping pills gave me a very fast heart rate though which was a bit uncomfortable

2kg isn't enough to assure death. Although it might be enough technically, I'd use more. You should easily be able to use 6kg, even 8kg, and contain that amount within a couple small metal pails after getting them going in chimney starters. You could even place them in a small grill. They key is to make sure ALL the coals are glowing red-hot before placing them in the tent. There shouldn't be any smoke, or very little. Once coals are in the tent, you wait a bit, maybe 20 minutes, for the CO to accumulate. Then you enter the tent quickly and get the opening closed as fast as you can. Hold your breath while doing so. Once in the tent, when you're ready, you start taking deep breaths. If you have the CO level high enough, you should go unconscious within several breaths and then be unaware when death happens. Charcoal/CO is good because it's "sleep" first, then death.

I would prefer to sleep naturally first and not pass out from the co. I'll enter the tent and go to sleep. After the co levels rise, I will start getting the poising effects when I'm a sleep. It should work because people die all the time from this in winter during there sleep. It's not like they have to be awake to die.

I plan on locking myself in the back of my truck after around 25 minutes, that way I go unconscious and I can't back out in anyway.

I'll be using a whole 8lb bag of charcoal to get the job done ... I think that should be more then enough.

only 20 minutes? According to a user report, CO level increases to only 3,200 ppm in 20 mins(I of course know it depends on the amount of charcoal, capacity of the tent and other factors). 3,200 ppm is not strong enough to make you unconscious in several breaths.
Entirely dependent on amount of charcoal used. We're only talking about the volume of a small tent here. A good 12-16 lbs of charcoal burning red-hot in a small tent will quickly fill the volume with a copious amount of CO. If unsure, invest in a CO analyzer and measure the actual PPM in the tent before getting in. The higher the level, the faster you get to unconsciousness. 10000 PPM, or more, is just about instant "lights out" after a few breaths. Ofc, the tent should be sealed as well as can be.

I understand, but you're seeking a much more difficult task trying to do it like that. Lower levels of CO, which you'll experience as the levels rise, will bring on unpleasant symptoms as you're exposed to them. Yes, people die in their sleep every year while asleep due to CO exposure from faulty furnaces, clogged chimneys, etc, but those poisonings are accidental, which is entirely different than purposeful. You'll know that you're going to die and your anxiety is going to be sky-high because of that. I don't know that sleeping pills will be able to overcome the anxiety you'll be experiencing. The other thing is that the burning of the charcoal should be monitored. If they go out, for example, while the level of CO is still low, you could be left with serious neuro injury, but not die. It's hard to know what CO levels people in their sleep succumbed to as that's never reported. Too low could be disastorous. I think it's way better to generate an absolutely lethal environment that you know is lethal and then just go into it, with full knowledge that it will produce a quick death.

I will test them to not go out when they're increasing the ppm. I will go in when it's about 500ppm and will fall asleep soon after, they will then rise to 3000 and above while I'm asleep and kill me. The anxiety from going into 10000pm and going unconscious while awake is worse for me.

If you go in at 500, you're going to suffer immensely from all the very unpleasant effects of the CO. Even 3000 is not enough to render you unconscious quickly. The way you're planning on doing it is going to be painful, not at all peaceful. Ofc, you're free to do as you will. Good luck with that.

How does one enter a sealed tent at 10,000 PPM and keep it at that level? Wouldn't it just make more sense to be in the tent as it rises to that level versus having that level dip and then waiting anyways?

I don't understand. I'm very scared to go in at high ppm. Why will I suffer at 500? I tested it at 800 and felt like I was going to pass out. How will I suffer if I'm going to be asleep as co rises. If this doesn't work, nitrogen is my only choice.

I guess you'd want to get in and zip it up closed quick.

I think because at 500, you'd really feel like you were suffocating, that would wake you, and you'd struggle to stay in the tent. If you tested it at 800 & felt like you were going to pass out, that's a good thing, that's the whole idea, that's how the method works. That's the benefit of methods like charcoal and inert gas, they render us unconscious so that we won't feel what comes next.

So entering the tent at around 800 and going to sleep rapidly as I would've taken many sleeping pills would that kill me? In 30 minutes co levels likely would rise to over 3000 or something.

I dont think its easy to sleep naturally even with pills,when you know you are about to die,people who died in their sleep didnt intend to kill themselves

In a 10,000 ppm environment, you quickly become so disorientated that your fears will be gone in 2 or 3 breaths.

You will suffer with various symtomology at 500 ppm, or even higher ppm, that don't make you immediately, or nearly immediately, go unconscious, which is what high ppm levels do. Nausea, headache, dizziness, convulsions, increased heart rate can all be expected, and possibly last for hours, before you finally go unconscious from low-level exposure, if you do at all. There's no guarantee that what you take will put you asleep during a high anxiety situation that induces huge amounts of adrenaline in your body. AND, if the low-level exposure doesn't kill you, which has a high likelihood of happening, you'll have been exposed to CO over a lengthy time, and once you awaken, you may find it has done significant, irreparable harm to your neurological system which you'll then have to live with. If you do happen to fall asleep, you have absolutely ZERO control over how the charcoals burn, if they continue burning, if they ever burn hot enough to produce a high-level of CO in your environment. It's far, FAR better to get the environment to a certainty of lethality before entering. Anything less than 10000 ppm does not lead to quick unconsciousness, nor quick death. If certain death scares you, perhaps ctb is not the right choice for you. This is all I'm going to say on the matter. Your life, and death, is for you to do as you will.

Thank you so much for this. My only option now is Nitrogen or Assisted suicide.
