Not sure there are any hard and fast rules to this. Its personal preference how much bling you have. Less you have the less there is to get caught on something. Keep it simple, less to think about and go wrong.

The 'basic kit' we used on course was:

1x hemet, 1x harness, 1x rope, 6x karabiners,

3x prussics (2 long 1 short)

1x webbing strap 1x wire core flip line, 1x set of spikes

This allowed for climbing and ariel rescue.

I would have a first aid kit and silky on mine too as well as add 2 extra rings to my bridge

Personal first aid kit (including whistle) & rescue knife is a good thing to have on assessment days :001_smile:

Things that need to be on, rope with prussik and crab and a wirecore. For your cs40 add a first aid kit.

I always find it funny when some guy puts his kit on and it's got 7 crabs, 2 strops, 4 prussiks and a few pulleys. Just no need for that extra kit keep it in your bag and get it sent up if needed
