Wondering if there's anything "special" you need to do to make sure you don't lose your lift bag out of the MC Storage Pak?

Seems
 
I just kinda roll/fold it so its flatter and stuff it up there and clip it to the rear D Ring. The elastic holds it in. Never had an issue (yet).
 
I have mine folded nice and neat then stuffed under the mc pack. It is also clipped to the D-ring of the crotch strap, as mentioned above, and I have not had it come out. In fact it is harder to pull it out than it coming out on it's own.

I do make sure the dump valve, of the bag, is centered in the middle of the plates grove that way I don't feel it poking out.

One quick note, I have noticed a Halcyon lift bag has the clip to use but my DiveRite lift bag doesn't.

Cheers

A few tricks. I use a 50# bag. I fold it in roughtly thirds (don't roll it). Fold it such that the leash will only be sticking out a few inches past the bottom of the bag. You can attach a bolt snap to the leash and then just clip it off to your butt d-ring. I know a few GUE guys (myself included) who do it this way.
