Not sure about your kit bag but next time you change out your downhaul line from your mast extension or outhaul from your boom, take the old length and wrap it around your harness bar. (Tie it on then wrap it round and finish it off with electrical tape)

If you're ever out on the water and break something with your kit, it's amazing how handy that length of line can be to get you back to shore, with all your kit !

i have a down hall pulley after the 7.5 pulley died while rigging. I guess i never need them now i have backup. Taking the old length of downhaul line and wrap it around your harness bar is a awesome idea

I used to have a collection of everything in the car however after many years, I found I didnt need much apart from incidentals like fin bolts, breather plugs and tape.

I run two UJs, a new one and a back up one. Trade in the backup every year so I know that the main UJ I am using is less then 12 months old. $60 well spent.

I think the key is to look after your gear,,, If your ropes look sus -- replace them.
