Subject: argon location was RE: Pony's and deep

Argon bottle is Velcro strapped to the side of the doubles , and it has no
reg on it, wise guy ( read the whole fucking thing before you spout off like
a punk child ). It can easily be removed and replaced in a "keyed" situation
in a cave.

For wreck the DIR location is upside down on the left hip on a big belt loop
( like the canister light only bigger so it slides over the d -ring and
knife easily to be removed ) and is held back against the back plate with a
bungee loop that is pulled over the butt of the tank. A smaller argon bottle
is generally used for wreck but the normal 13 cu ft at 2015 is fine.

So what is the DIR placement of an argon bottle - I thought it was fixed to
the doubles?
