This is actually Lamar Hire's idea, and it works perfectly. Cover as
much as you can with the inner tube, but do not restrict the bladder, just
protect it

You don't get much benefit past about 3500 due to the way the gas
compresses (or fails to). The tanks can be filled until the valve unscrews
itself and blows off, about 10,000 psi. I do not like to stress the regs,
either. Make sure you plug the burst disks

Put the bungee in like a d-ring, with the d-ring in the same space.
Whip it or tie wrap it to itself, hiding that part under the webbing. You can
still pull the thing up to vent it. look at the video, you will see us do it-
it
almost looks like the vent is on the shoulder
