I would like to include some Jargon entries from the rigging world, so please come forth any words or idioms that you think are essential to mention. thanks, Jondeath,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrHixxx 0 #3 December 4, 2004 Got that covered. I also want any newer terms that are coming up in practice, like Power Tool. thanks, Jondeath,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 558 #8 December 6, 2004 "ghost loop": the latest tool for packing Racer reserves ???: I also have a tool so new that I don't have a name for it. Hint, it is an old B-12 strap hanging off my molar strap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hee! Hee! I am ahead of you on that. I wrap the molar strap diagonally around my shoulders and tie the pull-up cord onto the B-12 snap. This leaves both hands free for steering side flaps and inserting temporary pins. How can you forget a tool that you need of the last step of closing a container?
