Love my Totems. Got the BD's first because that was a commonly used cam. Gave the Totems some thought and real research after a bit of experience. Current cam rack from BD #1 on down

Great cams. Someday there will be a cottage industry re-sewing Totem cam slings. C4 slings are beefy and might be able to outlive you before replacement, whereas the Totems will need reslinging. FO SURE. Hopefully a guy like Luke at Runout or Russ and Suze of Fish Products can pick up this slack?
There needs to be more sold, but I suspect it's heading our direction. For myself, I have almost 3 sets, which is more than I needed except I lost a set plus a few more and decided that I couldn't live without them. So I bought more. They are the best cam made currently IMO. Nothing works better in Red Rocks pockets and horizontals.
I later found the ones I "lost". My kid had showed up and asked to "borrow" a rope. "Hey dad, all the routes in Hell's canyon you need a 70 meter rope or you're screwed" he said. So I went and was looking for a rope for him and his buddies and wanted one with a middle mark. So I'm opening up rope bags and checking, on my 2nd check, I find my full rack inside a Metolius Rope Ranger bag nestled right next to the rope. That is the rope bag with the backback straps. Evidently I'd tossed the rack in with the rope so I could pack it out. Then forgot all about it. "Lost" my rack. The pups version went like this: "hey dad, good thing I borrow gear from you - found your rack I did".
I gave him my Clint Eastwood "Get the F*#k off My Grass Kid" stare.
