hi sage

sounds good to me for the speed and quickness. im tryin for as simple as possible but co2 is pretty common. i notice on some inflatable pfds that co2 is the main option.(mustang)maybe too explosive fo r the light exposure bag.

its fun trying to come up with possible approaches and i bet you're right abt it being bulky (but it'd be easy to blow up - like every puff is a bonus and minimal pressure), so i'll just have to check it out sometime when nothing else to do.(hehe)

the other idea for pple that can't get back in the yak that i think should be typical is blow tubes in the dry suits. espec if have separate pants and jacket.

so you're floating around in the water in the dry suit w/ the sprained shoulder and blow up the dry suit. lots would leak out but some sort of happy medium wuld be reached especially for the pants. would get some extra insulation on top. I got this funny picture of those blow up sumo wrestling outfits(but it wouldn't inflat like this at all)
