Why not just go with compressed air? That's what I (and several of the
other techs at work) use. Costs about $1.00 to fill your tank (several
times).

Ok, so you're thinking maybe just hooking the tanks up directly and
slowly opening up the main tank then shut it off once the blowoff valve on
the small tank opens? Sounds like that could work. Or, assuming the
threads are the same as for a CO2 tank, I'm sure I could scare up an
acetelyne/oxygen regulator which might do the trick?

Yep, probably a good idea for everyone to carry a compass too. :-) If
you truly get lost, all you need to do is head south and if you don't come
back out into the main vineyard area, worst case scenario is you'll hit the
road within a quarter to a half mile, then you just need to
decide wether to walk east or west. ;-)
