Suggestion for a minimum kit of gear that might be carried by each paddler
for other purposes but that could also be adapted to a towing rig if need
be:
For each tower, 1 runner/piece of webbing, knottable, to be looped over PFD
and act as chest harness, connected by 1 locking carabiner to minimum 50
feet of light line attached to towee.  Would a self-equalizing anchor
connected between two towers with another carabiner help with shock
absorption?

Reactions?
