Default Re: making up a lanyard

well it's christmas again!!



harness isnt new but everything else in the picture is.

today arrived,

yellow 1 man first aid kit (now on back of harness)

caritool (on right of harness)

6m of marlow gecko for 2nd strop/lanyard.
I fitted it up with a prussik if I decide to use it to cynch round a limb as a second short lifeline, and have been adjusting it whilst practicing with a 4 wrap 4 braid VT with micropulley although i like the klemheist just as much. It's double fisherman'd onto a biner one end and when it's not daisychained up it has a fig8 in the other end.

another 4m of 9mm prussik cord but that's boring

nice shiny new Petzl vertex vent helmet (wearing my husky defenders and visor)

two webbing slings both rated for 25kn, one 50cm one 100 (actual length of tape 2x that)

pair of timberland pro extra grip gloves

another triple lock biner. need to get a couple of petzl OK ones or AM'Ds but finding them hard to get hold of at the moment.

the stihl multitool was a prize in a prize draw courtesy of the company i placed the orders for all my gear with. It's actually brilliant

The samurai pruning saw with sheath was a freebie with my subscription to 'Total Arb: A world of Trees' Magazine
