There is an additional issure to this. I have noticed on many occasions
that when people are shown 'stuffing' by an instructor they end up at
some later date with their own variation on the theme. Horrors such as
feeding the hose through D rings, Using velcro retainers, bungee so
strong you coud pull a truck etc, etc. This makes the stuffing 10 times
worse than it is. To breathe the long hose is simple, and there are no
real variations to be had.

It is the epithomy of 'KISS'  Keep It Simple - Stupid.
