Another SRT rig question

[SamT]

Does anyone actually bother carrying spare SRT kit.
eg spare devices (tibloc, ropeman prussik loops etc)

I never have.

 

[underground]

I carry the full set, harness, jammers, everything- in a small tackle bag. And a spare Oldham T3 lamp.

I always carry a spare light (only a maglite, admittedly) but never SRT kit. The way I see it, I never cave alone so, if I did somehow lose a bit of kit I could just borrow off someone else.

Sometines a Patzl Shunt (in case of muddy ropes - would use this as top jammer in that case) otherwise, as others have said, would get by by borrowing other people's stuff.

I just have a little bag with all the emergency essentials - mars bar, survival bag, prussik loop and a pear shape krab. I reckon that should cover pretty much most things. And I really couldn't be arsed lugging another srt kit about- one weighs enough!

only carry a spare basic jammer when on my own. tend to carry pulley all the time in the rigging bag just for sack hauling.

I've never carried a spare SRT kit, occasionally carry a tibloc if I have my srt bag with me.. but thats about it!

 

[Huw Groucutt]

tibloc or 2 normally

I can't see the need, you can just improvise every essential piece of kit. Admitidly, it's not all that efficient but you can get yourself out of a scrape if something fails and you can't borrow.

I always carry a couple of prusik loops with me just in case.

Not quite SRT, but I also carry a pulley on my kit for setting up a z-rig (which paid off a year ago in Giants.....) on ladder and lifeline work.

 

[Hammy]

I always carry a Pro Traxion - it doubles up as a jammer and I find it very useful for tackle hauling - I also have a couple of extra HMS krabs which are good for clipping tackle bags onto my battery belt and again might just see you out of a pickle....

 

[SamT]

So generally not then, the odd tibloc/loop here and there.

Ive got a mini traxion and have oft thought taking it. Its just they're expensive and its all shiney and new :nopity:

yeah right :twak:
