All Gear Heavy Duty Rope Bag

The All Gear heavy duty rope bag gives a climbing or rigging line a clean place to live between jobs, away from chips, fuel, and sun. Flake the rope in, close it up, and it pays out cleanly at the next tree.

Why a rope bag matters

Rope wears out from more than climbing. Grit works into the braid, chainsaw bar oil and fuel attack fibers, and UV fades and weakens the cover. A heavy duty rope bag keeps the line off the truck bed and out of the chip pile, so it lasts longer and is easier to inspect.

Flaking the rope straight into the bag, rather than coiling it, means it feeds back out without kinks. Leave the end with your termination on top so you can grab it and go at the next tree.

A sturdy bag also makes the truck safer and tidier. Rope that lives in a bag is not underfoot on the deck, is not wrapped around saw bars, and is not sitting in a puddle of bar oil. On a busy day, being able to toss one bag over a shoulder and walk to the next tree saves real time.

Sizing and care

Choose a bag sized for your longest line with room to spare; a stuffed bag is slow to pack and hard to close. Compare capacities among other rope bags if you carry several ropes.

Empty the bag now and then to shake out sawdust, and let it dry if it gets wet before storing rope in it. Keep life-support rope separate from fuel cans and sharp tools, and inspect the rope itself before every climb.
