I am going to use an Atomic Safe Second inflator instead of a regular octopus.
If I am going to hand off my primary air source to my buddy in case of an emergency, it seems like the standard 32 inch hose on my primary may be a bit short. I'd like to get more space between us when I have handed off my primary and not have him/her right in my face.
My current primary hose is 32 inches.
Octopus hoses seem to average around 40 inches.
I am considering a 44 or 48 inch hose for my primary.
Would this be long enough? I've seen videos of folks with 60 and even 84 inch primary hoses, but that seems like it would introduce tangling issues. I'd like something long enough to keep some distance from my buddy while sharing my primary, but not so long that it's going to be a nuisance.
What is the advice of the collective?
