In SCUBA, we don't disconnect the tank from regulator until the tank is free and separate from the vest (last step). I feel that was a crucial error here, but I know nothing about fire firefighting equipment...wouldn't you have had precious extra breathing time if you disconnected the tank from vest before removing regulator?
Scba’s are mounted slightly different than scuba. Without disassembling the strap there’s no way to separate the bottle from the pack while the air line is connected, you must first disconnect the air and then slide the bottle either up or down through that strap. I could do this faster now (more experience) but it would involve the same steps.
Hold your breath, lol that’s essentially what’s happening, you swap a empty bottle for a full one while still hooked up to the pack with your mask and all in tacked! It’s to simulate a bottle swap in a Smokey environment, definitely a last resort, it is NOT easy!!!
Yeah I know, I got lazy and was throwing everything on private so my friends and family could see but I wouldn’t have to edit. I’ll get more stuff up soon!
Great video. Love watching how other air packs work other than our quick connects
Quick connects would make that a breeze! It would be nice but we don’t have those. As far as the packs I absolutely love Scott!
Yes I love our quick connects

I’ve never seen this done! How do you do it? I’m only an explorer but I want to learn as much as I can!
