Subject: Re: back-up reg neck strap
Lance   Why bother looking to buy one when they are easy to make.  A 
piece of surgical tubing formed in a loop with the ends overlapping about 
2 1/2 inches.  cinch the ends to the tube with plastic cable ties and 
walla!, you have a loop that goes around your neck with a slit to trap a 
reg mouthpiece in.  If the loop is the proper length you can get the reg 
in your mouth without using your hand.
