Al,
If you have a lrg. leg pocket on your suit you can stuff the bag in
there. I mount a bag on the bottom of my plate and a sausage on the side
of my plate. Both possitions are comfortable to me but indeed difficult
to restuff. I would guess if you needed to use a bag in any other
situation than training you probably will not be restuffing it anyhow.
Locate your cutting devices in different locations in the event you
may not be able to reach one of them. I prefer a z-knife on the strap of
my glove for the guick jobs. The one I use is the smaller one from
diverite and may be to small for you cold water guys to handle with
those big gloves/mitts. I believe oms sells a larger version. These
knifes are much safer when cutting smaller dia line, easy to store and
are quit abit safer. Sheers can be a hassle for cutting small line.
