First of all I would like to introduce myself. My name is Matej Simonic =
and I am from Slovenia (Europe). I and a couple of my friends now slowly =
move in DIR direction since there is no stores in our country that would =
sell such equipment we have to make it ourselves and/or buy different =
pieces of equipment from abroad...
I am new on this list and I have 3 questions:

1) Rigidity/thickness of material (straps) used for harness. There are a =
couple of them that have appropriate width that we can use. One is to =
make it from the same material that is used for weight belts. This is =
heavy duty, and is quite rigid. I found another one that truckers use =
with spanners (tighteners) to secure the load on their trucks/trailers. =
It is a little bit thicker, but is woven from finer, thinner fibers, is =
also heavy duty, but is not so rigid. Which one is better?

2) I am trying to make an closed circuit Emergency O2 "rebreather". I =
have 2l (14 cuft) oxy tank with a valve. I was thinking to connect a =
valve with hose to some kind of bladder into which CO2 absorber and =
moisture absorber would be instead prior to use. With the valve it would =
be possible to add consumed oxygen, otherwise you would just breathe in =
and out of the bladder. Does anyone have som links or instructions on =
this subject?

3) What kind of breathing pattern do you have. Which is optimum for =
lowest air/gas consumption? Half inhale/complete exhale (higher =
frequency) or complete inhale/complete exhale (lower frequency)?

Thanks

Matej
