George,
We are on the same page! I am in agreement with you in
regard to a "clean rig" and teach the concept and have never
posted otherwise. However the risk of a CO2 hit is very real
regardless of what your wearing and needed to be addressed.
It is not enough to keep harping on the gear configuration. I see
people every year on the charter boat who have bought your tape,
configured their gear and think they are "doing it right", only to do
stupid shit like Charlie and nearly kill themselves because they
think it's only about the gear. You may survive in spite of a stupid
gear configuration; you will not survive a Co2 hit regardless of what
you are wearing!!!
