Re: set up question

1) I use my lowest Helium content bailout bottle for drysuit inflation. I know I'm bucking the trend of using Argon, but I am not certain there is much benefit for all the extra equipment.

2) I use a Dive Rite Trek wing and it is fine. I also have a halcyon lift bag with clip at the ready for backup buoyancy. IMHO you need to be ready to provide enough lift to overcome a complete flood -- which is alot of lift.

3) Secondary has a loop for a clip off. I use a retractor. The primary wrist straps, as noted, aren't great so most replace it with a bungie. I'm thinking about mounting my VR3 to it with Ron's mount and clipping off the primary with a retractor.

5) Most wear it as designed, some us bungee and clip to tie the bottom of the counter lungs to the base of the backplate. This keeps the chest area a little clearer. I'm thinking about trying this.
