    Default Buford sink

    Going next Sunday for the first time.Is the trail good enough to push/pull a dolly or am I going to have to backpack my tanks in?

    Walk in a couple of 45's on a sidemount rig, 90+ Cu/Ft of gas and you have the redundancy

    I love my 45's....The Fabers and the Glock.

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    It's the most beautiful dive I've ever been on, nothing else has even come close. I'd say it's worth it.

    Here's a video on this page that shows a little bit of the walk to buford, so you have an idea what you're up against.

    Bring a single. I never use doubles at Buford.

    I'll join you if you want.

    What I always do. Take a cart-
    Even though I'm only humping in a single 120, I don't feel like carrying it.
    Was just there on Weds.
    Perfect walk-back. Swamp was dry, so no mud bogs.

    Was like walking around in my backyard

    Here's a few pics from Weds.
    Even managed to get my little yellow cart in my new "pimp mobile"


    here's the pic set

    It's like a station wagon that couldn't decide whether it wanted to be an SUV or a minivan when it grew up.

    You need to get some gold spinners on it to match your gold front tooth.

    Default Same cart

    That little cart is great. We have one and used it on our second Buford dive trip. We learned from our first attempt with a cart that had little wheels and broke during our "walk" to the end of the road. However, we hauled 6 sets of tanks (two doubles) and all of our gear in our little cart. (I told the guys with the doubles to bring only single tanks but they didn't want to listen) (now they are believers).
