Subject: Long Hose Methods

>Not wrong, just different opinion

EVERYHING ELSE ASIDE, Just answer this ONE question...

What happens when you're in a restriction in a cave or a tight tunnel
in a wreck and your buddy signals (you DO have the signals worked out
- right?!) that he's out of air...  According to you

>>If the long hose is stowed neatly the time difference in deploying is minute
>>if any. If a chest strap or other piece of equipment where to be placed over

What does that buddy do in that "minute" and, what if it really does
take TWO people to unstuff.  Now, in a cave where there may be flow
and maybe you're holding on due to the flow and really can't spare
both hands to "unstuff" that hose - what happens now?  Sounds to me
like you're now in a world of shit.  Why do you keep arguing the
indefensible?

Is ANYONE THIS stupid?  I'm afraid of the answer to this question...

And, AGAIN, why do people try to argue FOR stuffing, even when they
admit problems.  Try to find one problem like this breathing the long
hose and when you can't you'll (hopefully) realize the idea behind all
this - i.e. DO WHAT WORKS.
