Trying to decide on a new gear bag/box currently in using a sterilite footlocker tub. I was looking at a better hard box but they're either a bit small or way too big. I a thinking a notch access pro but just saw the camp spacecraft on tree stuff and was wondering if anyone has any experience with it. I typically carry my full climbing rig all together saddle 2 12' flips, handsaw, gaffs slings for zip lining ascenders and all the other random little things in one bag.

I will tell you don't get the Arbortec cobra 55L if you want to be walking around with the bag on your back. it is the worst lol. BUT if you want it as a rigging kit bag I think its probably awesome... It is a stiff bottomed bucket (which digs into your back when you wear it.) Maybe the larger 65L bag has better proportions
The Notch pro access looks cool, but also looks like a rip from the Courant line.
Do you usually use Ditty bags for gear or just toss it in the pit? I would like to see how these "access" bags, like the camp, keep gear tidy.

Dont think they even advertise them, but the sherrill "simple" bags around 20 bucks work fine.. order several then you can be kit specific.. proved to be good for us. The fancy expensive ones seem a bit like overkill.. yes I have some, but have gone back to the k.i.s.s. formula.

Never thought I’d say this but, “those skidmarks look SWEET!”
In another thread, someone mentioned the aviator flight bags. While not for backpacking gear, they look pretty good for transporting bulky items (saddle, gaffs, helmet, boots, etc.) I like that they are kind of upright so the footprint is smaller. 20" x 22" x 12" and only about $35 new. I've not purchased one... yet.
That was probably me. I got one for climbing gear and one for rigging gear. Usually I got everything I need in those, minus saws, poles, long handled tools, and the lowering device.
Been beating the crap out of the one since 06, and still going strong. Pretty inexpensive too.

To expand on this...
One main climbing box (most accessible), one light rigging gear (2nd most accessible), one extra climbing gear box plus some rope (3rd), extra rigging gear(4th), heavy rigging tucked away with GRCS in 2 boxes.
One wedge pouch with 6-8 small, medium, and stubby wedges, one ammo can of more wedges, then large wedges living in a catch-all square milk crate atop a larger rectangular milk crate with chains and a binder, heavy ratchet straps.
Large bin of rigging ropes.
A shelf above for long-handled tools like poles and rakes, signs, APTA/ bike pump, throw line cubes, hand saws, spurs, secateurs.
Extra truck fluids, gear gun, rags, etc in a rectangular milk crate.

Hey Vicente,
On some YouTube video I saw someone working with one of these outfits. I thought it was pretty cool. Not great for all occasions (I have to hike in the hills for my trees).
Be careful when you're shopping for this. There are some scams..i.e., too good to be true. So, purchase from a reputable vendor.

I have there Camp. Its packed to the rim. If you tote a lot of gear I'd suggest the Courant Cross Pro. I have one of those also and love it. It holds a bit more than the Camp.
I'm thinking I'll do one of the Courants, I would like 1 bag that's pretty packable as I work in an area that I often have to pack stuff to the tree not really far but can just drive up to it and unload either. Was hoping that camp would be big enough as the access looks really nice but size was kinda a concern. Might be a minute s the new guy gaffed one of my climb lines so, and I have to buy 2 new bull/rigging lines in the near future as well.

I just bought the masterforce version of a pack out. I have a notch access but probably won’t ever buy another gear bag.

I thought about using a Milwaukee Packout, really love the system and use it for other things, but not being a pro I’m probably just going to throw my gear in a couple tote boxes. The wheels handle off pavement well, the whole thing holds up well really. I have a set of Packouts for when I go junkyard “shopping” among other things. If I was going to be doing a lot of climbing I would probably seriously consider using a Packout. That said, give me a year or two and my gear might end up in one anyway, lol

With the price if the masterforce ones, I couldn’t pass it up. For the two bigger ones and two gallons of bar oil I spent $152

big duffel bag works for me, I got an Osprey 65 liter "transporter", it's very similar to the Skidmark but not nearly as much street cred..
