I was moving from one place to another in Nevada City and pulled an empty box out of the rafters in the garage to  pack stuff in.  When I brought it into the house and opened it, there was what looked like a 10 inch diameter ball of some kind of gray, fuzzy mold in one of the corners of the box so I took it outside because I didn't want some kind of spore release in the house.  When I set it down just outside the front door, the "mold" ball exploded right in my face.  Put me right on my can.  It was a  bundle of bats that probably had been hibernating (it was Spring).  Once I recovered I could only hope that the weather was warm enough that they would be OK.  One of those moments....

No problem; sent you another.  Let's see if that gets through.  Thanks.

Up for 5; sent you a message.

Well, to sort of address your question here are things that I would like to see as a traveler.  1.  Is it easy?  All travel arrangements from the point of landing in country to leaving should be entirely handled or detailed so your customers have no problems at all.  2.  Quality of accommodation: clean, operable - especially the plumbing.  Try to keep the roaches down if you get my drift.  Food prep and ingredients should be top tier.   Access to top notch medical care regardless of situation, including if necessary, emergency air transport to appropriate facilities- you don't need to charge for it but should have secured the means to provide it if necessary well in advance.  I've seen it organized down to the level of nearest airstrip in the bush for fixed wing evacuation to the main airport for charter straight to a German hospital.  Time from injury in an African jungle in the middle of nowhere to being in the air for bound for said hospital with attending physician: 120 minutes max.  The diplomatic arrangements were the hardest to procure.  With any luck, you'll have facilities in country and can avoid that.  On the fishing part itself, since it is for yaks offshore do you have appropriate search, rescue and safety procedures and equipment in place?  If I was going out in foreign waters, I would probably want an epirb on my yak.  Depending on the part of Asia, what are you going to do for pirates?  Nearshore crocs?  Salties migrate there by chance?  I'm sure you've addressed all of this, but since you seem to be looking for market perceptions, that's what I'm thinking offhand....

It takes a beating but is easily "repaired" unlike powder coating.   I also delude myself into thinking that it will deaden the report of lead on rock which I just can't imagine is the best  "that sounds like something to eat" sound.  fwiw

I'll be down there Tuesday with a buddy.  We're both newbs more learning the displaying prowess.  We've been hitting various areas and have no preferences of which I know.  If you have a place you'd want to go I can raise it with my buddy.  Lemme know...

A little over an hour away but I'd be up for it; this week I'm gone though.

Sounds like you're on the right track.  Contouring can be very customized by using duct tape for the shaping; it's tough, fairly waterproof and you can replace it whenever you want as needed.  You might need a strap to hold the piece onto his forearm under load.  I'm thinking if his arm is bent roughly 90 degrees, the strap would hold to the lower part of his upper arm just above the elbow, around the lower part of the triceps.  Another strap would harness lightly around his shoulder to keep the first strap from falling down.  Motion would be unimpeded and the piece can't fall off.  Another thought is to space small foam strips inside the piece to make lands and grooves like in a rifle barrel for a little ventilation to keep the sweating down a bit.

Keep us informed.  I think the harness offer is stellar and will provide a good base and maybe all he needs.  If not, I am willing to put in the time to help make whatever is needed.
