Plagued with a gnarly bout of insomnia tonight (well, last night, now) I've been tweaking my checklist for a little while.
Leaving aside the fact that obviously everyone religiously uses a checklist each and every time, I'm wondering how many people use the "official" checklist, be it a manufacturer's or a training agency's vs. how many people use their own.
Then of those of you who use your own, just how comprehensive is it?
Do you rock a million steps, like "218) Lightly grease the O-ring on the inhale hose. 219) Lightly grease the o-ring on the exhale hose?"
Or are you more a "Gases on, LP buttons work, Pre-breathe" sort of person?
I'm curious to see what people cook up.
As a gesture of good-faith curiosity, mine's attached.
(I claim no responsibility whatsoever for its safety/correctness. Follow your training, etc. etc. If you think following some anonymous schmuck from the internet's checklist is going to keep you safe, well... yeah... your flowchart is already a bit flawed.)
