Retrieval Rider

This is the kit you should always take with you on retrieval / transport runs. It should be small, able to be carried in a large pocket or very small bag, and reasonably light weight. On most short (<2h total travel time) transports you will likely use none of it, but as transport times become longer, you will be glad you packed this Rider.

  • Phone
  • Pen
  • Torch
  • Small multi-tool
  • Flat USB wall charger
  • USB cable for your phone
  • Power bank (3000-5000 mAh should be fine)
  • Headphones / AirPods
  • Inflatable neck pillow for long transports
  • Snack & drink

With that, you should be ready for most stuff.

*’Rider’ is a term used in the performance industry to denote a list of things necessary for the performance to go ahead. This might be as simple as some water and sandwiches in the Green Room, or may be much more complex.
