    Default Team Pigtail



    So I'm looking at this picture in another thread and I get to wondering...

    Instead of tying up five feet of line with a dozen cookies in a place where there's a well-traveled T or jump...

    And instead of using a team cookie (which, debate all you like, but you are not going to convince me that's not a stupid idea)...

    Has anyone toyed with the idea of clipping a pigtail containing each diver's cookies?

    "Pigtail" sounds somewhat discriminatory or potentially racist.

    Would it have to be the tail of a pig or would any farm animal tail work?

    Would be hard to keep the arrows on a horsetail. And cowtails couldnbe unweildy if there is more than one or two Ts.

    That's ridiculous. You ever try to get a donkey to hold still anywhere, much less at a gold-line T? Those things kick like bastards when they don't want to do something.

    Are you now implying that bastards are a lesser people or somehow more difficult.

    The recent insensitivity on this forum is disheartening and quite honestly very disturbing.

    Wait a minute... how can that be a gold line T? I was under the impression that there are No Ts on gold line anywhere in North Florida. There must be some mistake.

    Has anyone toyed with the idea of clipping a pigtail containing each diver's cookies?

    Sounds like the lock-out/tag-out system used by electricians.

    What would you have? A team cookie with a few feet of line & each individual member's cookie on the pigtail?

    Do not go gentle into that good night.
    Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Exactly the idea.

    Instead of line, I'm thinking of a single team cookie with a bit of surgical tubing knotted through a hole. Everyone drops a cookie on the tubing (including whoever put in the team cookie).

    Several jumps planned means everyone needs at least that many cookies and lead diver is carrying that many pigtail cookies as well.
