Re: Need ideas for attaching bailout bottles

Mike, thanks a lot for the details and pictures. Took me a while to figure out exactly how it all works.

Questions:
1) How is it doing a back roll off the boat with side mounts? Do the low hanging cyls get caught on the gunwhales?

2)I'm not completely clear on where you're fastening the upper bungee. Are you using the little D-ring on the bottom of the CL, or are they the ones I see attached to the sides of the BP?

3)And I'm still wondering why, if the d-rings on the web shoulder straps aren't supporting any weight, you couldn't just use the stock fastex clip and the loop it attaches to and thread the new waist web belt through it? That's how I have it on my current tech harness, but because my training was done with BO slung off the shoulder harness, I had both the stock CL straps to hold down the CL and the additional shoulder harness, which was a drag to get in and out of. Give that the weight of the BO cyls is now hanging off the waist, I'd be most happy with a harness that made use of the stock Prism CL fastex/weight baring system, as it's most easy to don and doff.

Thanks again for the info and I hope I explained what I'm looking for well enough... -Andy
