Can we assume helicopter trips to peaks under14k are an acceptable elevation for the ARVA reactor? Has ARVA performed tests in the lab and on peaks up to 14k?

Specs say nitrogen, but its argon (much higher psi.) I couldn't find anyone in Utah that could fill or exchange it. We're talking Wasatchangeles!! One shop had another at $175 to sell me. No thanks!

Arva went with a compressed gas canister for a few reasons, the primary one being safety should not be compromised. The fact is the compressed, and sealed, gas canister is the most proven system on the market. Zero leaking, more stable at temperature and elevation than compressed air, less susceptible to corrosion, and more blasting power (4300 PSI) are some of the other benefits. Sure some arrangements need to be taken to travel, if renting or exchanging are not a convenient option, consider shipping a canister to your destination ahead of time whether a new purchase, or one of your own. Last, the small size of this system allows for a lot of functional and packable space compared to other packs and systems. You can pack a load close to your back and balanced inside the pack.
