O.C.D Kit storage.

[James Corden]

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.

 

 

Each to their own i know, but isn't that a bit gear overkill?

iv never been in a position to need more than 1 throw line and have only used an access line once, if i need to i just foot lock up both sides of my climbing line.

I carry my gear in a crate, like the ones beer comes in. Spikes, flip line, rope, harness and throw line all fin in nicely. The crates also stack nicely in the back of the truck.

Incase you get your throwline stuck It happens to everyone and if you don't carry ladders it's worth it

 

Footlocking is good as long as you can isolate your top anchor and it's no more than 20 metres, it's far easier to bang a throwline into the tree let it come down the backside not having to worry about isolating your anchor and then base tie your climbing / access line and ascend SRT all depends what work you do

 

Horses for courses

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:

 

Yep gotta say my Black diamond bag is still going strong, i must go out and get another 2 before they stop making them.

 

And who the hell is this Q ??

My bat is arranged so I know where everything is annoyingly someone pit my gear away I didn't check and lost a pulley. Only cheap but was annoyed. Dont let other s put away your stuff

Just got myself a black diamond should of done it years ago but the mountain hard ware bag in Marc's pic is very good as well and only about £50 from Cotswolds. Just depends if you want a vertical haul bag or just a normal grab bag

the bag I bought off this thread, i.e the 17 quid jobby is perfect for putting my rope and harness in, no more coiling, just unzip lay it out open and slap my harness on, best 17 quid ive spent in a long time

Have to admit for £17 it looks a good buy.
