I would think that there would be a place in the market for:2. Small haulbags. Surely no one need more than 20 l capacity for a wall that can be done in a day? 35 l is the smallest I've seen: what on earth are people bringing on the routes?

19. BlocChocks tm - inflatable neoprene shapes/wedges that can fill holes below pads/level landings/stop sliding pads. I tried armbands once to some effect. A nice wedge shape would be excellent.

A mate and I were discussing easy ways of removing small pools and puddles form the bottom of problems, a common issue with seaside stuff. I now have a large car sponge and pump action water gun to go with my siphon hose.
16) Chalkbags that don't spill chalk when closed and in a backpack / durable drawcords.

I've thought small bean bags with a tough covering would be ideal for this.
