Here is a thought, as I am currently gear hunting for my future solo adventures:
If I have an additional pony bottle, with single reg on it, as redundant air source, there is no need to have two regs (one main, one emergency) on your main air source, correct?
Is something goes sour with your main reg, just take the pony bottle reg and make safe ascent.
Even if you are with a buddy, if his air source craps out and you needed to give air, but happen to have a pony bottle, you could just give him that -in such case both of you would safely ascent anyways.
In other words, can I save complexity, weight and money by not bothering having a spare reg on my main tank, if I carry a pony?
Just curious what people here think !!!
