Tree climbing requires plenty of tools and devices to assure safety. There are ascenders, descenders, carabiners, pulleys, throw lines and weights, helmets, eyeglasses, gloves, shoulder and sit harnesses and so on. If you are a tree professional you will also need to carry your tools, such as saws or pruners. And of course, your climbing ropes.
You will need a strong and heavy duty bag to carry and protect all these gear especially if you like to travel to far places in search of the tallest trees. A great bag for this purpose is the RopeBoss Deluxe Rope and Tool Bag.
Constructed out of 1,000 deniers of Cordura®, a high performance nylon from Invista, this RopeBoss bag is almost a hundred percent thicker than other bags. A vertical support system is built into the bag to keep it standing upright regardless of whether it is full or empty. This helps when loading and organizing gear in it. It will also stand even when wet.
On the bag are two long pockets for tools and other gear. There are two handle positions which allow users to choose whichever is more comfortable to them. There are four reinforced attachment points for the RopeBoss Comfort Backpack System. This converts the bag into a backpack for hands-free carrying or climbing. The attachment points can also be hooked to carabiners for hauling the bag.
At the top of the bag are two holes through which the rope in it can be drawn. As these are only 25 cm in diameter, they are small enough to keep off dirt or rain. Air enters the bag for ventilation through ventilation doors. These also allow users to have a quick look inside the bag without having to open it from its main access at the top. This access is sealed shut by a durable #10 zipper.
These bags are available in Extra Large with a capacity of approximately 150 meters of 1.25 cm ropes, and Large which carries half of that amount.
