Thanks. Not being trained any other way (like using a wrist slate), its hard for me to imagine the conflicts between some other gear and ratio deco.
Example: when stages are on the right and left it becomes hard to reach your note book, and that is one hell of an important peice of gear that both you and your team mates need to have quick access to.
Note book should be in right THIGH pocket. The thigh pocket is another peice of gear that is not standard with the non DIR crowd and we almost always have to get people sorted out with either pockets or x-shorts.
Also, since it is kind of team based in it's application, some people need to change the way their gear is configured, just to fit in with a team. This is important, especially during training I think.
But again, that's just me. I guess after people take the workshop, they pretty much use the knowledge any way they want to and since I don't consider my students a bunch of wandering idiots who are lost without me, I trust they will make the right choices.
