Shipyard stories
I used to do high work at night dangling from a crane in a skip.
I found that tapered pins were also excellent for throwing at the crane operators booth to wake him up when I was ready to move. Otherwise he would just sleep right on through the night. The pins were small, light, cheap and had a lot of distance on them.
Best Wishes
