The most unprofessional diving setup I ever used, several weekends in a row, at BHB in shallow water mostly diving solo, was a first stage and a single second stage.
I had used it with a drysuit once a long time before, and had a drysuit inflator hose on it already. I just tucked it in the camband slots in the wing.
Then I had a friend who was going to call their dive because their octo was broken. I was comfortable diving solo without mine, so I donated it. Couldn't find an LP port plug, but I did have an inflator hose handy, so now my rig has 3 inflator hoses.
The real kicker is that my inflator started leaking air into the wing because I did not rinse it very well after diving, so I started diving with it disconnected and just manually inflated. 3 inflator hoses, none attached, all stuffed in my wing.
Didn't bother me as in technical diving, I have QC6's on my dilout and bailout bottles, extra qc6 from onboard dil clipped off, deco bottle has inflator hose on it, as long as it's all organized and not dangling, no big deal.
