Tom,  currently I have a configuration of reels on the right hand d-ring
mounted on my OMS 121's.  Also, I wrap the long hose with surgical
tubing on the right side of my twins.  I've avoided wrapping the long
hose around my neck on the advice of my instructor who is worried about
a gas sharing incident with someone coming from behind me.  Can you help
me with a better configuration?
