One kit bag is never enough, and to some extent I have a form of OCD, I like my kit good quality hard wearing and need minimum fuss from me.

I have 4 bags total, I hate bags with outside pockets and gear loops usually I only take 2 to site depending on what I need.

 

I have one bag for climbing kit, it has my harness, main climbing line, silky, 3 throw lines and a small inside pocket for small accessories this is all I need for canopy work.

My second bag is my access kit/srt gear 66m line and my rope walker system. I carry my spikes separate.

 

Black Diamond touchstone is where it's at, had mine 6 years it will last another 6, it get chucked about I've even run over it, I do not treat it like a precious thing it's utilitarian. It's also waterproof.

I have also had the black diamond touchstone for similar amount of time. One of the best bits of gear out there. Never managed to even put a single hole in it. Buy quality.....but once.

Big difference between £200 touchstone bag as apposed to£17.i know quality counts but for £17 it's got to be worth a punt.? I like the way it folds out as well,saves a lot of fumbling round.

You can find them for less I'm sure you can get one for £125 with a bit of looking. Paid £85 for mine all those years ago, it's paid for itself now.

 

We all just want to be like Q:001_tongue:

Nice and tidy case of you look after your kit and your kit will look after you. Credit to you for being such a pro.good kit= good work ethic and pride in what you do.

Contact the good people at Lyon Equipment's Work & Rescue department and they will make one in house for you. They do really robust stuff and already do a bag along the lines of what you are looking for called the Lyon Modular First Response Pack.
