<< Ok, about 2 months ago, I switched from stuffing to hog.  However, I
hate 
it.
 
 When I was young, I had an ex-boyfriend try to stangle me----not that that 
means alot, except for the fact that I hate things around my neck.....care to 
guess why????VBG
 
 Anyway, I have a 7 ft. hose(I am a big girl).  I am finding two problems:
 
 1) The reg and section of hose going around my neck, often tighten up. 
Drives me crazy.
 
 2) If I am "bombing" a wreck, or going down quickly, the hose simply drifts 
off my neck and is gone and dangling.
 
 NOW:  Some of you may feel the need to slam me, but I really don't give a 
shit.  However, after having tried it---by the way in two months time, I have 
made at least 50 dives---Some recreational, but about 10 Tech, to depths over 
130ft.--I am probably going to go back to stuffing.
 
 I may still use my octo as my reg, and keep my primary aroung my neck on a 
bungie, and use it in case of an emergancy.  That bungie doesnt' seem to 
bother me, btw....maybe because it doesn't ride up, or tighten up.
 
 SO, my question is:  Other than the fact that DIR doesn't like it, what is 
legitamately wrong with stuffing your hose?
 
 REMEMBER:  I want a smart, technical answer, not just that DIR doesnt' like 
it.
