Is this a possible use for those tucked-away D-rings beside the back pad on the Inspiration? Has anyone tried rigging a bungee from one of them to the top d-ring on the shoulder strap? What about clipping the bottom of the stage to the rear d-ring on the crotch strap?

Mik,

Connect the bungee to the D ring on the backpad using a quick link, and you will need to fiddle around to get the right length of bungee and the other end cliped to teh shoulder D Ring using a boltsnap. Attaching the side mount I attach the upper clip to the shoulder D Ring and the lower to the Armadillo then run the bungee over the tank valve, this keeps the tanks nicely back up out of the way

Cheers Pat

Close (for a blob) but not quite what I need to see. I'd like to see the detail (arm is in the way), especially how the bungee hooks the RH valve on the LH side, without getting spoiled by the LP hoses.

You just can't seem to keep some people happy no matter what you do

I have a bungee attached to the BP (between top hole and bottom hole). The trick to prevent a bungee to come off the tank valve is to give it a twist before pulling it over the valve handle. This is slightly different than you see in the picture of myself in the video. In there I had a bungee between the BP and chest D-ding.

Attached a pic of what I mean. Mark the double butt D-ring. (this is my buddy's rig; CaverKevin, he deserves all credit)

Where do you get those double-butt drings!?
