Title: Carrying O2 E-Tanks Inconspicuously
Post by DennisM1045 on Sep 7^th, 2007, 12:30pm

Now that I'm carrying around e-tanks I am looking for a bag that makes the process less curious to folks I pass on the way into work. Somone could mistake it for a pipe-bomb ::) Anyway, I've been googling and this is the best option I've found so far.

This looks like it'll work but if anyone has a better option I'd like to hear it.

I think you should dress them up like they are your kids. You've got 10, so who'd notice? ;)

You might be onto something there Nani.

I found another one here: http://www.e-firstaidsupplies.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FPI&Product_Code=911-84994

This one is only $21.25

Dennis, look at some of the sites that carry home o2 therapy equipment. They have tons of stuff, mostly aimed at long term users that carry smaller cylinders, but you might be able to find something for your E tank to your liking...

that bag look slike you'd be carrying a rifle...even worse.

If you really want to be inconspicuous, you can get a D tank and keep it in a backpack.

I used to have a ton of them.

The most conspicuous woman is the 80-yr old who wears clothes of a 30-yr old, layered with cosmetics.

Many times, being obvious gaines the least attention. How many wheelchairs do you focus on? Someone walking with crutches?

...or maybe not.

Perhaps:

...but it may incur some commentary.

Maybe inconspicuously concealed inside a tasteful stuffed animal that you could carry around with you:

It's an interesting question.

Best,

Is that an E-tank in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

I'm sorry, but people need to look past your 02 tank, and deal with you, one to one. My hubby has 02 on wheels, and no one dare look at him funny, 6 foot 4 inches, I think not! It's HOW you present yourself, not what you might be holding. Be proud! Hopefully, through your willingness to carry an 02 bottle, the next guy won't feel so ashamed. Prayers, Leah.
