A Notch gear bag for keeping climbing kit organized and easy to reach.
The Notch Pro Access bag is a gear bag for arborists who want their climbing kit organized and quick to get at on the job. Notch makes a wide range of tree climbing gear and accessories, and this bag is built for daily use.
On a busy job, digging for a carabiner or hitch cord wastes time. A bag that opens wide makes it easy to see your kit, check it, and get climbing. It also makes the end-of-day check simple: everything goes back where it came from.
Use it for climbing gear, or as a dedicated bag for rigging hardware if you keep the two kits apart.
For crews that share kit, a dedicated bag per climber helps prevent gear from getting mixed up. Each climber knows their own saddle, hitch cords, and hardware, and knows the history of each piece. That makes inspection and retirement decisions much easier.
Keep the bag away from fuel and bar oil, shake out sawdust, and dry it open after wet days. Check your gear as you pack and unpack it.
Clean the bag out regularly. Sawdust, sap, and grit work into hardware and soft goods, and a quick shake-out at the end of the week keeps your kit easier to inspect.
See other gear bags. Life-support gear must meet the applicable standard (ANSI Z133 and the manufacturer's instructions), be inspected before every use, and be used only by trained climbers.

Check the listing for capacity. Gear bags like this are generally sized for a saddle, hardware, and small lines.
Most climbers keep the main line in a separate rope bag to protect it.
