Okay, so I finally got most of my equipment, I just need to set it all up so I don't look like a christmas tree underwater. I have an Apeks WTX-D30 set, a flashlight, a knife and a spool with a DSMB.
Here's the wing:
This is the rest of the equipment:
(ignore the lose ends on the flashlight, I'm still trying out knots, they will be cut short)
Other than that, I also want to secure both the pressure gauge and the octo so they don't dangle either:
So, to start with the flashlight. This is what I have so far:
Tie a bolt snap to the flashlight (here directly, I'm not sure if there's any point in leaving a length of line between the flashlight loop and the boltsnap d-ring). The knot I used is the one described in this video:
The attachment point on the light is a bit small and narrow, not like the one in the video. I'm not sure if there is a better knot to attach to it:
I attached the boltsnap to one of the shoulder strap D-ring (here on the right one), securing the flashlight to the shoulder strap using the provided ring (usually made out of bike tires, but Apeks has been kind enough to provide a nice elastic ones on each shoulder strap and the crotch strap). I'm not sure whether to put it on the left or right shoulder strap.
Since I've run into image per post limit, I'll continue in the next post:
