I am testing a bailout sidemount, ccr,sccr,oc system that weights Less than 15 pounds!!!! It can be staged on the line, picked up and in use as fast as a stage bottle.

Interesting how *I* find out these things :-)
FWIW, this is the Missouri workshop, not the Florida workshop.

i think we have some wires crossed I manufactured some parts for Brett back in September but I only met Kim thursday and made the deal yesterday
Dang it! I bet that means the price went from something I might could afford to no way in hell. Just when i get excited about a rebreather, you go and sell out to the man.

No I think the price will come down with "mass" production

Brent and Brett are different people. Ed was talking about you making a presentation at the next MO workshop. Brent is the workshop chairman.

Compared to you, he will always be a little guy :-)
Compared to Slim, we are all little guys/gals.
Don't know you Mike , but congrats are for sure in order .
From talking to Slim about the G.E.M, it sure sounds like a fine bit of kit.
Good luck with your future endevours.
Anthony
Will you still be able to build them and sell them and teach how to use them (and Slim too)? Or will we have to go through KISS? And if we act now can we still get it through you?
just curious,

I cant go into great detail but we are working on a sidemount, stageable/bailout rebreather. it will be ccr,sccr, oc all in a unit that weighs less than 15 pounds. Can be removed cliped to the line and put back on in under 30 seconds. we will take 2 of these on an expedition in Jan. for the true test.

That's great Mike! Forrest told me, ..... but, I think that's perfect for you. Like we talked about in MO. I'm ready when you are. 15 lbs, but how much lead to sink it?

I wonder where SSK will find a G.E.M. instructor to teach her.
Hmm you got a point there,Iwonder how much he will charge her for the class. I mean I konw that the going rate is for a GEM class. Do you think the instructor wil take it out in trade? Or is she going to cover some of the expenses for the Instructor? I just hope her instructor does not try to cut any corrners, LOL

I don't know, Argyris...you hang out with some pretty nefarious characters (I've seen that Facebook friends list!)...I might be a little scared at who you'd think is suitable for me! :rollguy
