Thanks for your informative insight. Your analogy with the car is off. I
thought Hog is more of a philosophy, and I am sure a lot of people adopted
this philosophy with some modifications of their own.

I understand about the Hog safety issues, but not when it comes to canister
on right hip, I don't. Flame me if you want, I just want to learn.

Why is it the correct method ? Are you sure that it is the optimum way, or
is it because there is no other way to get around the canister on the right
hip, thus all stages on the left ?
