Hey Toilet Breath

I could see it working for when THEY toss the teargas through your window.
Perhaps not the best fighting position, but could certainly buy some time.

That looks more like something from a bizzare fetish catalog than a survival tool.

I burst out laughing in the lobby and people looked at me funny. Thanks

Last time I saw a contraption like this I was having sex with your mom.

The vent stacks go to the roof and if your place is filled with smoke it'll likely be very smokey on the roof too. So you will be breathing methane and smoke.

If you really want to trying it just disconnect your lavatory sinks ptrap and use the there. Same vent stack. Less poo

Hrm, breathe through the toilet or breathe smoke fumes...with what goes through mine, I think I'll take the smoke thanks!

After reading all the comments, I'm in agreement that this probably isn't a good idea. But if you were trapped with absolutely nowhere to go, it might be worth a try.

If you could reverse the direction on your bathroom fan, that would seem like a better idea. Would that be enough to create positive pressure in the bathroom?

Yeah, to engulf yourself in flames

If trapped in a room in your house because there is smoke or fire outside a door, kick the interior drywall out on the inside opposite that door. Feel for heat, if none, push the lower drywall on the other side out with you feet until you can determine what the condition is on the other side. If clear, punch out and get out. Wet towels around a door will give you several minutes of smoke free breathing. If you are planning to leave, wrap wet towels around your entire head and torso before breaching a door or drywall. You can likely survive running through a house fire with this method.

I "outlasted" a trained team of 6 with Sims and teargas by kicking though multiple layers of drywall in an actual house donated for training...not that hard.

Second to smoke inhalation, gasping in hot combustion gases is the slow but sure way to dead. DON'T inhale when running through any area that may have hot gases. If you encounter any flash, cover your mouth and nose and get low. Not a substitute for fire training, but this is the quick and simple version.

Beat me to it. Wet towels folks, wet towels and low to the ground.

A fire can double in size every 30 seconds, don't waste your time with this kind of stuff. If I come in to get you I don't bring in a spare SCBA, so your gonna be breathing in the smoke anyway. Stay low and filter breath (towel, shirt, etc), while making your way out. I'd personally rather bail out of a second story window without any safety gear than wait for someone to come (floors and roofs collapse, CO builds up, fire conflagrates through vents, ect), mostly because I think a broken leg is much better than dead.
