I used to when I didn't have a permanent loft. Now that I do, I have a specific place for each tool. At the end of every pack job I verfiy that all the tools are back in place. Some hang on the work bench, some are on a shelf and the others are in specific drawers. Unless you have something setup of this sort, I would recommend some type of check list. I have one if you want it...but I'll have to dig it up out of one my notebooks...it's been awhile since I've used it. Mike ChutingStar.com

I'll scan it in sometime this weekend and post it here as well as my web site at www.chutingstar.com. ChutingStar.com

As riggers, we have to inspect bartacks and other stitching, regardless of color. Grey thread on white shows up plenty well enough to inspect. If it is too hard for a rigger to inspect grey thread on white spectra, or for that matter white thread on white F-111, then you shouldn't be a rigger. I know most thorough riggers have some sort of checklist like this. At Chuting Star Rigging Loft, we have a 1/2 page checklist that covers all components of the harness, container, reserve and AAD. All components are checked at assembly AND repack. This missing bartack should have been caught...no exscuse if the last rigger assembled it or repacked it. ChutingStar.com
