A rope bag for carrying and deploying climbing or rigging line clean.
The Reecoil rope bag gives your climbing or rigging line a clean home between jobs and a tidy way to deploy it at the tree. Stuff the rope in, carry it out, and let it feed out without a tangled pile.
Rope wears from the inside as much as the outside. Grit picked up off the ground works into the braid and grinds fibers every time the line runs through a device, a block, or a friction saver. A rope bag keeps the line off the ground, out of the sawdust, and away from the chipper path while you work.
Separate bags for climbing and rigging lines also help on a busy job. Nobody grabs the wrong rope, and the climbing line is not left lying under falling wood. Compare sizes in our rope bags.
Feed the rope in hand over hand from the working end and tie the tail to the bag so it cannot be lost. That leaves the end you need on top and avoids twists. Pick a bag size that matches the length and diameter of the line you plan to keep in it.
Dry rope before long storage and keep the bag away from fuel, bar oil, and battery acid. Inspect the rope itself before every climb or rigging job.
Labeling bags by rope, length, or purpose pays off on bigger crews. When someone calls for the 150-foot rigging line, the right bag comes off the truck the first time instead of after a search.

Capacity depends on the bag size you choose. Match it to the length and diameter of your line, with a little room to spare.
You can, but many crews keep them separate so the life-support line stays clean and easy to identify.
