I'll start us off:
<bearing in mind mudmonkey's comments below, let's say this is an advanced technique and only recommended for cavers who understand fall factors, and dangers of dynamically loading jammers>
You're following a really gnarly traverse with no footholds. You've got one long cowstail and one short one but if you were to slip off with just your long cowstail clipped you'd take a bit of a fall onto it (cos it's quite long). All a bit embarassing. So...clip your long cowstail into the cam on your Croll to shorten it and eliminate the whipper potential.
<play safe kids>
Rig your single bolt rebelays with a bowline-on-the-bight. Just clip both loops into the krab/maillon - making the knot easier to untie when everyone's been swinging around on them.
Right...your go!
