looking for help or a good link

[gurumasta]

hi, i am a fresh meat to this and i am looking for a link or some good info on bp/w. i am familiar with jacket or back inflate bc's but have not the first bit of knowledge on a bp/w. i see tons of threads on these but i am looking for pics, do they have pockets for weights, how do they work, etc.... any help is appreciated. also, as a beginner, should i start with a bp/w? or just go with what i learned with? thanks in advance.

sorry if this is redundant, but its tough for me to even follow some threads because i get lost. im sure ill catch on quick enough, but right now im stupid.

This has been covered thoroughly in the past 2 weeks, I know because I started a thread and so did a few others. Search this BC category, shouldn't take long. Most to all of your questions should get answered. Or just search for threads I've started and follow my journey- I figure out what tank (steel LP 85) I want, weight belt, probably getting the DSS BP/W, etc.

Since I had the DSS page up already, here's a link to a photo to get you started:

Two of the most usefull links for me.

Have fun.

Look in the Hog Forum. Plenty of threads with pics and descriptions of BP and wings.
Here's one....
