    I'm sorry but I just have to ask. How many backup sticks do you carry?

    About 30-35 sticks if you have a bellows style pocket.
    Flat pocket, only about 8 to 10.

    If cave diving were Star Wars, who would be Yoda?

    Default light on

    Not that I have kept a light on before, but I think it would be great to have if scootering and your primary fails - it sucks to be traveling fast and all of a sudden not know how close you are to the wall. I am not sure a little mask mounted light would help there, but it is probably worth testing out.

    It does help. It also helps with the quick glances at guages.

    I know scooters feel fast but they go at under 3 mph. There's time and light enough with the mask light.

    Ditto. I don't fuss with headlamps either...you wusses

    Is it clear? No? Well....let's go anyways.
