Wrolf, at the risk of being attacked by the Jim Cobb fan club... Here's a couple of solutions 1. Install pockets on your drysuit situated on the outside of your thighs for your little stuff. 2. Put a D-ring on your crotch strap back by the plate for your lift bag. I don't see much use for the massive jersey up-reel wrapped with lift bag, I don't see them used much around here. The whole idea with those is to have a bio-degradeable upline you could abandon on the wreck should you not find your anchor line. But that means that the hemp rope is biodegrading after your first dive unless you are constantly replacing it or unrolling it and drying it out to prevent rot. Seems to me that a regular wreck reel is a better solution unless you make loosing the anchor line a regular thing. And I have to admit that I have done something horribly non-hogarthian, I attached a Dring to the very bottom of my left tank... This is not good because it is a potential snag point, but I rationalize it by having all by gear attached to the snap bolts by string so I can cut them away if I have to. And it is on the front of the tank, where I can reach it with my hands. My Dring with the pressure gauge was just getting too crowded. One major concept is to keep the back of your tanks clear of snags and obstructions. Jersey reels, pony bottles and other stuff located in the unreachable area of your back could be a problem in a restriction where even a buddy would not be able to free you. The other problem with stuff on your back is that it screws up your hydrodynamics and you get worn out pushing all that junk through the water. Hope this helps- Jim Sender: Wrolf Courtney Date: 6/11/98 10:17 AM >Adriaan_Haine@ce*.be* wrote: >> >> Wrolf, >> >> In reply to your question regarding the rigging of your newly acquired >> harness, may I recommend you take a look at the following websites. >....snip... > >Thanks Adri.
