I have my tool belt, and most likely all the tools I will need. Keep an extra rope handy so I can hang it off the basket to lower to ground for anything that may be needed to rope up, eliminates the need to go up and down
Extra rope: check. Even with a hook on the end.
Do you ahve a WAWA or 7Eleven, convenience store nearby?
All of the above, plus others. Plus have laid in a supply of Cokes, bottled water, coffee, and such.
FYI, when you turn off Rt. 1 at the Hog shop, there is a High's conv. store there. That will be the last civilization before my house, so if you need smokes or a Slurpee or beef jerky or whatever, that'll be the place to grab it.
The thimble is why I asked about the angle grinder. Make good easy clean cuts with the angle grinder, And you can also go sideways with the blade to enlarge the opening that way keeping with the roundness along the blade round.
Ah, I see. Into the bucket it goes.
