Subject: Re: lift bags where to put them?

Look at the Halcyon stealth pack backplate pad.  It has a lift bag pocket 
running the entire length of it.  I store one bag folded in the pack with 
the clip just out the bottom so I can reach back and deploy it (which 
I've done many times). It works well and keeps the bag protected and out 
of the way of other gear -- it would be a good place for your emergency 
bad. On occasions where I also want to carry a second bag, I clip it and 
my reel to the rear d-ring on my crotch strap.  No confusion.  No clutter.

Best -
