Weaver Chasm Gear Bag

The Weaver Chasm gear bag is a large, open carry bag for the soft and hard gear a climber or rigger takes to every job. It keeps saddles, lanyards, slings, and hardware together and off the truck floor.

One bag for the whole kit

Most crews end up with gear spread across the truck: a saddle on a hook, slings in a bucket, carabiners in the door pocket. A big open gear bag like the Chasm pulls that together. At the tree, you drop it near the drop zone edge, pull what you need, and the rest stays clean and out of the way of the chipper and the brush pile.

A wide opening matters more than it sounds. You can see what is in the bag without dumping it, and coiled slings or a lanyard come out without snagging on everything else. See more sizes and styles in our gear bags.

Keeping gear healthy in storage

Keep the bag away from fuel cans, bar oil, and battery terminals. Petroleum and acid are hard on rope, webbing, and stitching, and you may not see the damage until it is too late. Dry everything before it goes in for the night, and keep spurs and saws covered so they cannot cut soft goods.

The bag is not a substitute for inspection. Check each piece of life-support gear before you climb, and pull anything questionable out of service.

Many crews give each climber a bag of their own. That way every kit is checked, packed, and owned by the person who climbs on it, and nobody borrows a lanyard without knowing its history.
