This was the first MS product that I ever wanted to buy. Seems to have everything I want in a fitness tracker/smart watch, except the barometer and water resistance. I'll hold on to my Suunto watch for a while longer.

I didn't read the blog post as a step by step instruction, more like some commercial for the bag.

I've done quite a few rapells and sometimes keep my rope in my closed rope bag on my back (with compression cords in place) if there is a large risk of the rope getting entangled with the environment, I'm on a bridge over a road or I'm on a cliff above salt water.

I use a french prusik on the rope below the ATC and pull the rope out of the bag at the same time as I pull down the prusik. Often the rope gets slightly stuck, a harder pull on the rope has freed it for me every time and I never take care when putting the rope in the bag so I would think a proper packing of the rope would decrease that risk a lot. Should the rope get really stuck I would simply take off the bag and open it up while hanging in the harness. Not a big deal at all.

On the other hand there are plenty of people who are depressed, tries to kill themselves, survives and are later happy to be alive, in those cases it would be a bad thing if they had succeeded. It is such suicides that most people try to prevent when they are talking about preventing suicides.

Its impressive what you can build with a huge amount of slaves.
