Has anyone used the Buckingham BuckTube Rope Bag? I am curious about how useful it is.

Thanks,

Oh yea that one. I think some people were saying it would be handy for crane assisted tree removals to have it on your leg. Also others couldn't get past the fact about how expensive it is.

From what I remember its smaller than most rope bags. Only fits 150 feet of 11mm rope, and thats pushing it. Might get 120 feet of Lava or Posion Ivy rope to fit in, but I have my doubts. I could be wrong, but when these first came out thats how they were. Maybe they changed.

I used to climb a lot with this rope bag.

I liked it because I could go up SRT up an ascent line, have my DDRT line in this bag and just start climbing when I reached the top of the SRT line, and then when I reached my TIP decide where to drop the rope and bag. On big conifer climbs when you are zigzaging your way through the canopy it works pretty well.

i love that bag it is the bomb and it takes a beating pretty well; although i know a guy

(i love when a story starts with that line) that cut the side of a rope bag and put a stretch top ditty bag style portal on the bottom of the bag and sewed some back pack style straps on the bag. pretty much the bomb in my opinion. i have been thinking of making one out of the mesh hobby climber bag.

I picked up one of these about a year ago. Holds my 150' poision ivy rope and friction saver perfectly in the main section and a throwline cube, trinkets ect. in the front pocket. After a year it hardly shows any wear. Very good quailty and I believe I paid like $55 after taxes. MADE IN CANADA!

Thanks for the above link. I looked at the Carleton Rescue site and I am going to pick up one of these bags... even get to pick a color. Go Canada!
