mcordell 2 #3 March 12, 2015 Or look at the field rigger kits...or buy the tools independently after you figure out what you won't need out of the kit...www.facebook.com/FlintHillsRigging Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zerospinskier 1 #4 March 12, 2015 It's not a big deal to buy the tools as you need them. It will get you started, and no matter how good of a "set" or "kit" you get, you're still going to have to buy things here and there individually for certain needs. So I say just start that way and build it slowly. I bought someone's old lot of tools and wish I hadn't. I ended up replacing most things because it was too old or used and broke.

hackish 8 #5 March 12, 2015 If you're at all handy you can make many of the tools at a fraction of the price. For example I used a $4 nylon cutting board as a closing plate for years. Packing weights were simply 5lb sand filled exercise leg weights with the velcro cut off. The velcro protector was made out of about $0.50 in scrap pile velcro and some leftover tape from an old bridle. -Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Southern_Man 0 #6 March 12, 2015 Dave DeWolf's tools are very reasonably priced (he sells complete sets as well as individual pieces). If you are buying new."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nigel99 524 #7 March 14, 2015 I just bought the necessities from para gear and it came in at under $200. Didn't by a kit.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BornToThrill 0 #8 March 26, 2015 ParaGear and ChutingStar have plenty of tools and you can compare those prices. I recommend NOT buy a kit as it has things you may not want/need. Find a used kit bag and source out individual parts, it'll save you money... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmarshall234 14 #9 March 27, 2015 Shoot me a PM. I have some extras of tools I use and can hook you up. Not a lot, but it will get you started. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
