John - I don't know if this falls under peronal preference, strokism, or what, but I carry my life support equipment (lift bag, spool, trauma shears (in OW)) in my right pocket, and my wetnotes in the left. I feel the right pocket is easier to reach (at least in cold water) with stages on the left, so I put the "important" stuff on the right. I'm not scootering, which probably makes a difference. Just a thought. At 12:33 PM 5/21/1999 -0400, you wrote: >Sure. No real dexterity is needed. >The wetnotes go in the small pocket on the right leg.
