Subject: Re: Securing liftbag - new question
Place a brass or SS grommet through the center of the harness 
waist belt on your left. Locate it back towards the backplate (just 
behind the left hip D-ring) about where your light is located on the 
right side. Make a loop of 1/4" surgical tubing (or bungee) with a 
knot/cable ties on the end large enough (the knot) so it would not 
pass through the hole in the grommet. The diameter of the loop 
should be smaller than the diameter of the rolled-up lift bag. When 
you are going to take a liftbag, slip the loop through the hole in the 
grommet (with the knot between you and the waist belt). Now you 
have a bungeed loop through which you can slip your rolled-up lift 
bag. It is up tight against your left side (like your light canister on 
your right); it is back behind your hip D-ring and out of the way of 
stages. Like your light canister, you don't even notice its there and it 
is easily reached when you need it. When not carrying a liftbag, 
take the bungee loop out of the waist belt grommet. 

Why does anyone need a 185# lift bag for a drift deco? 

My two cents,
Doug
