Anyone keep a 'rigging work-book'/binder? What do you keep in it? About to go print HSE668 for mine :P

...because I'm just at a loss for what to stock it with but know I'll find benefit *somehow* doing this! Have a calculator and graph paper / compass(for circles not directions) for use with my log-weight charts to draw/diagram some of my first rigging jobs (first ones that matter, have been rigging & speedlining stuff at my place that's lightweight - am doing it via ladder more often than not lol - just to get a feel for how things move, can only watch so many of Reg Coates' videos before needing to see it IRL / feel it / hear it!)


Am heading to a printing-place and hoping for any&all suggestions on useful stuff to add to my list (below), thanks a ton for any advice on things to print or to include in this 'binder' (it's the same type of plastic clamshell binder I use for work-orders/billing/scheduling right now, want an arborism-specific one to keep in my truck!)

Current print-out list:
- my jpg collection of Wesspur/Sherrill/etc catalogue-infographics (I snapped jpg's so I could print them into this :) )
- the entirety of the 400p 668 document, I was hoping I'd be able to go and remove large chunks of it to reduce volume but I've flipped through it (virtually/on-laptop) and seems there's useful stuff throughout / no large areas to remove w/o hurting usability!)
- ANSI standards, unsure specifically what codes (know there's a Z one..) but want to have the 'rules of the road' on me at all times just in case there's ever uncertainty about whether something's kosher or not
- more log-weight charts
- force-over-distance formulas that incorporate rope-length (hoping to find "teh best" of these, there's gotta be one where it takes the rope's elasticity into account, I mean measuring the rope-slack that a dynamic/shock load will run into, it is VERY dependent on the elasticity of the rope used, no? SO if there are any usable formulas that include not only length of rope that's 'catching' the log but also that rope's elasticity, I'd love to know it!

Any suggestions for inclusion would be greatly appreciated, am not dead-set on 'rigging only' / anything relevant to climbing is good for me here!! Thank you :)
 
The Art and Science of Practical Rigging

It's for advanced users but it's almost all in there. Just find a good mentor to show you the advanced stuff I admire your enthusiasm I hope you are successful.
Would love to get a copy of this material for a few weeks! $200 is pretty steep for non members!
Another good set for reference is "The Schultz Effect" although really not for your intended binder purpose!

Possibly develop a home-made slide rule? Can instantly output corresponding values for a given input. They are used in navigation a lot of want to have a look. Just requires some plastic, glue, elastic ribbon...
