Zusammenfassung:	A system and method of use are disclosed that enable a simplified operational procedure of isolating portions of a well bore. Specifically, a self-venting setting tool is described, that in an embodiment, utilizes well bore fluid as the inflation fluid for a downhole packing device. Simply exposing the tool to a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure readies the system for the setting of downhole packing devices. Otherwise, a typical system may be required to undergo a complex venting procedure prior to deployment or be susceptible to failure due to gas regions within the wellbore prior to reaching a desired location for the subsequent wellbore isolation.
