The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

Yup, but a serpentine belt grabs WAY better than any v-belt ever will. Even 2 v-belts. Plus with a serpentine belt you only have to carry one size spare.  Personally, I'd be carrying at least one spare for every v-belt on the engine.
