>David what you really need to do is to tie an oring to your reg with cave 
>line and then tie the oring to your neck lanyard tubing. This way you 
>have a predictable failure point for your second should you need it off 
>you in a hurry.

>It's funny that you use a zip in this situation because it was with 
>precisely this application that I had a zip tie fail. The reg was hanging 
>from the lanyard, I heard a "clunk" behind me, I turned around and the 
>reg had fallen off the neck lanyard and the ziptie was sitting on the 
>deck. And even after that I had 2 more fail at random times before I 
>realized that I had a Holy Calling to chase down and destroy the evil 
>Ziptie empire wherever they may appear.

>HEAL!, David, HEAL thyself of the EEEEVEAL Zipties, HEAL before you 
>forSAKE your DIVE or eeeeeven your LIFE! HEEEEEAAAAAL!

>>Note, you should put your backup regulator's sling around your neck before
>>donning the long hose.  The backup regulator's sling is surgical tubing with
>>a single cable tie (sorry Jim Cobb), securing both the mouthpiece and
>>surgical tubing sling.  The reason for putting on backup first is to ensure
>>that the primary hose lies on top of everything else, thereby ensuring that
>>there is no snags when handing it off.  Similarly, ensure the long hose is
>>not accidentally trapped in the waist strap or under the dry suit inflator
>>hose when kitting up or trapped by the light head if this is clipped off.
