£3.75 BUY	Bag Tether Bag Tether A length of 6mm cord (total 3m) to be used to attach the tackle bag to the caver. Traditionally known as a 'Donkey's Dick' but not in front of the cavers beloved grandmother. Supplied doubled (for strength) with extra knots along the length to improve grip (much easier to pick it up in confined spaces). Long enough not to let the bag be stood on while prussiking! A must for expeditionary cavers, where different types and ages of tackle bags will be encountered; and for those using Beast bags. Best used with a small, low profile - but full strength, not accessory - karabiner. More Info
£4.50 BUY	Cowstails Cowstails 10mm Safety cords for ladder / line and SRT techniques, tied in 10mm dynamic rope. Generously sized to allow for tall cavers, and those wishing to use the 'French' style of longer short cowstail. Supplied with two barrel knots and a central overhand knot - but all users must check their knots before trusting them in a dangerous situation! For use of this equipment, and suggested suitable lengths, see Al Warild's 'Vertical' website. More Info
£5.00 BUY	Integrated Footloop / Safety, 8mm static rope Integrated Footloop / Safety Made from 8mm static rope for durability and efficiency, a footloop and safety cord tied in a single length of rope.For those who prefer the British to the continental setup for their hand jammer. It is recommended that a karabiner is used to attach this unit to the jammer. NOTE: while the Footloop / Safety is supplied with the recommended knots already tied, the length of each part is crucial for SRT efficiency and safety. The buyer is responsible for ensuring that their setup is efficient, and safe, for them! More Info
£12.00 BUY	Starless River Russian footloop Starless River Russian footloop. Dyneema cord with tape footloop, made to fit two feet. Simple, effective, very lightweight. This new version has an extra tape section added to the footloop, to keep it open during use when passing rebelays or similar. A very long-lasting piece of kit, the dyneema doesn't really wear with use - when the tape / cord parts, it may be repaired, or parts salvaged and re-used. A thought; always try to have a footloop that accepts both feet - what if you lose your Pantin? Another thought - why dyneema? if you use a rope that stretches an inch every time you weight it on a step...and it takes 400 steps to prussik out of a normal British pot...how much height have you wasted?
