Any thoughts on best method of carrying them (at least one of them). They roll up to about 10 inches long, about 3 inch diameter roll.


What works for me is carrying the bags in loops of the heavy black surgical tubing below the backplate. You use 3 sets of loops for 2 lift bags. The first set goes through the backplate. The second set goes through the first set, and the third through the second. You carry the bags in the two bottom sets. The top set is to get them away from the plate.

This was shown to me by a macaw that belongs to a well known SoFL wreck diver.

Tell me you at least fed him some peanuts...

The chimp wasn't around; they told me that they saw him getting on a Greyhound bus headed north on I-95.

Of course I took care of the bird - trust me, his advice is well worth every peanut.
 
Tie a small loop into the end of the larger loop of your line. The bolt snap is in this loop in the stowed position.

To deploy the bag pass the bolt snap with loops through the eye of the bag bolt snap.

Put your left hand through the large loop and take the spool.

Let the loop roll off your hand over the spool.

Remove the bolt snap and clip it off to your right chest D-ring.

The bag is now rigged for filling.

He wasn't headed up here to get me squared away was he? I hope you mean to say he was stopping in VA Beach :D
