>No guarantee it will work, but this is how to get as much upper body insertion as possible: suspend your yak horizontally from loops, fore and aft of the cockpit, with the cockpit down. Adjust the loops to raise/lower the yak to an optimal height so you can slide your arms in first, then shoulders and head. A judiciously mounted trouble light (or, a headlamp) will provide illumination. Well Dave, I asked the question and that is probably a very good answer. It, however, holds absolutely no appeal for me at all. While not particularily claustrophobic, spelunking into the depths of hell holds no interest for me nor does your method. It is much to easy to picture myself getting stuck in there, standing up and running around in little circles looking like a really tall conehead, banging into trees, getting knocked on my butt, arms and legs spread... Thanx for the response tho.
