4 slender 11/2-inch bolts with nuts and washers slender 11/2-inch screws 2 heavy 3/4-inch screws feet braided iron picture wire 6 feet 1/4-inch rawhide Sewing kit Extra flashlight bulbs, proper type Toe strap Extra matches Toe strap Extra matches The contraction band (or flickzeug) is compact, light, and will repair a broken ski unless the tip is shattered or lost. To repair such a break a sturdy aluminum ski tip (or a plywood tip with a contraction band) is essential. A nail is advised to supplement the key (in case the soft iron of the bolt heads becomes so rounded that the key will not grip) but the bolts must be drilled for it. Miscellaneous bolts and screws are advisable for supplemental repair. Other items may of course be added, but ready portability should not be sacrificed; this kit must always be with the party. If the party has any intention of breaking into two or more units, it would be wise to have a repair kit for each unit. |
