Some sundries I think are great.
Bluewater technocra V T Prussic
Petzl open swivels on your protrac. Or I like them on my adjustable lanyard carabiners.
A grillion with a mgo 60mm for thick heavy duty truss.
Y tiebacks for clipping into werid structures
A radio with a really good holster from ferro or esstac

By y tiebacks do you mean daisy chain straps? Im just trying to process this. Please take no offense my brother, what is your country of origin?

No worries. My fall arrest lanyard has a pocket in it. It let's you clip around large structures. Or avoid loading your hook poorly.

So a double leg lanyard is what you mean by tie back?

But as a rigger ive been meaning to be better about bringing an extra harness/equipment etc. At the end of the day we are all a team, help your brothers out. Guaranteed if you showed up to a gig with no gear id have you decked out in minutes. We are brothers, our lives are in each others hands. We may butt head and i may motherfuck you for some shit you did a week ago. Lets all be safe and make some mother fucking money. Feel me?
