Rigging kit storage

[Jacktrades]

Hi,

 

Anyone got any good ideas for a way to carry around and store rigging kit? I want to keep a porta wrap style lowering device, 16mm rope, couple of pulleys, strops slings etc.

 

A bag or holdall doesn't seem up to coping with a stein rc2000 as they're pretty heavy / pointy / bulky. What else do people use?

I’ve yet to see a perfect solution to this.

I carry my bollard, straps etc. separately to my ‘normal’ rigging kit in a tough plastic rectangular tub with rope handles, but it’s a pita to carry any distance.

Black diamond haul bags/arbortec cobra style ones. Can fit rope + portawrap in them easy. 
Same as Mark my bollard/winch live in boxes and they’re annoying to carry. But they always will be. 
No point packing a portawrap with a 16mm rope really. If you actually need that rope then you need a bigger device. And it probably won’t park or carry very pleasantly.

I have a ‘light rigging kit’ with rope, swing checks, krabs, slings and a capstan in a Stein 50l bag.

I’ve got a create like this one for the heavy gear

Scaffolders tool buckets might work perhaps?

Maybe I’m a bit poverty but I use old horse feed sacks for ropes and find the bollard is big and ugly enough to not need sticking in a box

these are good with the waterproof canvas lid, can happily carry a full rigging kit on your shoulder.
A rigging rope will run out under the lid if it’s wet and as a added bonus they can be up turned over Mrs miggings shrub so it looks like you agree the manky thing is a excellent example!

 

cheap as well.

Peasant!

 

A loose bollard is a total clusterfuck waiting to happen.

 

Just chuck one, straps, a loopie and various crabs on top of everything else and see what happens.
