What are good ways to capture CO2 so I can soak in it?

Put tin foil over the zipper first, and then tape that down. This clip has Ray Peat describing taping tin foil over a Bathtub drain. He said it won't go thru tin foil, would slowly seep thru tape. Then (my thoughts), use the foil tape for sealing hvac venting. -
It is important to remember that CO2 is heavier than air and will it blanket the floor and displace oxygen at the level of the floor. If you are laying flat on your back in a horizontal position, the 'CO2 blanket' may cover your face and suffocate you. At that point it would be convenient for the emergnecy responders that you decided to lay flat in a a cadaver bag.

@DavidPS my suggestion was not to lay flat, it was a solution to a big enough bag, as talked about by Ray Peat in the linked Patrick Timpone interview.
I personally would never use the CO2 bag in the house, though it seems Ray did as he talks about watching movies while in a CO2 bag.

@Sunniva - My remarks were not directed at you. I wanted to make things abundantly clear to others who may reading this thread.

@Sunniva Thanks for the information, I may give this a try at some point. I'm still a little hung up about mobility issues, but I guess that's something I can figure out as I go. It's not like cadaver bags or trash bags are catered for these uses anyways lmao.
@DavidPS Yeah, that's a good thing to always keep in mind. I wasn't really planning on laying down when I used it though. The few times I tried with trash bags I was sitting at my desk getting things done on the computer. Although, I would think this is difficult with cadaver bags because I'm not sure how I'd use my arms in that situation.

The cadaver bag would just be longer and thicker than a trash bag. You could use it up to the armpits and tie it off the same way you would a trash bag.

@Sunniva Okay, that's really what I needed to know. I didn't know how one of those closed off. For whatever reason I was under the impression they zipped open but was closed on both ends.

would look very polite -
Air mattress. Probably less work than a body bag. Comes with an intake valve too.
