Falteimer will last years longer then any other brand Ive ever used ..

If Santa has a big enough bank account, Faltheimer is the gold standard in cubes. I wouldn't know personally because Santa has told me I have been a naughty boy.

Falteimer. or a Petzl Eclipse. i really like how the eclipse is set up but it wont last as long as the falteimer.

*sigh* ...yet another item to add to my Fiscal Irresponsibility Wish List.

I've been through about five of those cheap cubes. Make an investment and get the faltheimer

I know it's not a cube, but ... my wife got me this for my birthday: https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=175&item=1511

I love it ... sometimes it catches if you throw directly off the reel and you weren't careful how you wound it up. For the most part it comes off the reel fine, and takes maybe 15 seconds to wind up when you are done.

As a bonus, it comes wound with 200' of throwline, and a mini biner.

Faltimer all the way mate , I have been really rough with mine and its living on strong .
my workmates one is 4 years old and has no problems .

My first one was a stein and it broke on the 3rd day of having it .

That reel from Tree Stuff is what I use. In concept it's the spool of a spincasting fishing reel. You "cast" with that laying on the ground. There are a couple of tricks to its use and then you rewind the spool with you as the "reel."

Like my first casting on a pond it was tangles and mess ups at first - almost zero after that. Great for Big Shot deployment etc..

Falteimer if you want a cube. The rest of them are shit. I'd be interested in trying the reel or that bag from the Harrison Rocket folks.

I use an old army canvas round water bucket. Maybe 8" diameter by 12" tall? Anyways, Kristian Shultz gave me one a few years back and i friggin love it. He had someone sew a small pocket on the inside, for the first weight. I have three lines in it, plus a weight on each end, two spare weights, double snapper, extra retrieval balls, and a few mini biners. I use dividers between each line, never had a tangling problem at all. Prob could be found online for $10 maybe?

Anyways, its mire or less a poor mans faltheimer, and folds down similarly. Fits on top of one of my two CT haul bags perfect.

I use a small lunch bag, that has a smooth silver lining, its tiny, and has a zipped bottom, great for storing the cambium saver, its great if I get the target 1st time, straight out the bag...if I miss and there are sticks...its that bother...grr

I use a Stanley tool bag with interior pockets that are the perfect size for weights.

Believe it or not, I still prefer a standard 3 gallon bucket. It holds the big shot head and still has room for a loopie and block or rings. I do use a cube in my climbing bag, but not the one that folds into a triangle. I hate those things!

My wife just ordered me one of these, I am very stoked. Just need to make so e dividers.

Maybe the round ones I use currently will still work.

The bag is tough. I've already smacked mine a couple times. Old yard signs make great dividers for it. My boss found a thin sheet of rubber mat for his tote.

Also, you can fit a tarp and either a helmet or 150' of rope on top of your throw line. I currently have imori in mine.

Now if we could all flake that quickly, we'd be set.

I just keep 2 sails in my box of tricks if needed, hardly ever, but they also have multiple uses, rain covers and plant protectors.
