Day 1: Chamber Arrives!

The chamber came - it set up fairly fast, all very portable. It includes the chamber (which is soft-shell but built to withstand 6 psi), a compressor and an oxygen providing tank thing (I need to find out more about this). You get inside, zip up the compartment, and then start the compressor - there are controls from both inside and out. There are pressure relief valves to keep the thing inflated at 4 psi. There are two pressure gauges, one tilted so that the person inside can see the pressure also. There is a mattress, and Jim took in his pillow, IPhone and cell phone. He was actually IM'ing people from inside. So, photos....
