throwline storage

Cory:

You just have to slot the top of the LT to attach it mid line. Just cut a proper sized slot from the center line of the infeed ferrule to the center line of the rollers.. You kind of have to keep a finger on the top when you're using it so the line stays in the rollers but it does work. I made a long ferrule for the in feed on mine to guide the line a little better. It was a noble experiment but in the end I got tired of dead batteries and dealing with wet and muddy lines and just gave up and threw it away. They're pretty badly underpowered IMO.
Regards,
Phil
 
I use a couple of lunch coolers for my backup throwlines.

Sherrills cube for my primary. I discovered that a little Shoe Goo on the corners gives it a little more pop and keeps it standing up straight.
 
That flashing avie is the worst thing that I've seen in a long time! Blech!!!

My main throwline container is one of the original Faltmeier cube prototypes that were made YEARS ago. It is still going strong. Well worth the price!
 
I'd like to see a generous flap/tab on the outside bottom corner of each side of the throwing cubes to put a rock or other weight on for windy days. You could even put one foot on the flap while you were throwing if needed to keep it from flying away in a gust.

How 'bout a "Stringliner" wind-up reel used by the construction / mason industry. ???

I've got 1 that I use for nylon line that I leave in a tree for rec. climbing.

I'm going to buy a couple more for rec. trees.
It runs ~ $10, including 500 ft of braided yellow nylon twine.

Don't know if it would leave too much "kink", due to the smallish diameter, or twist, for use with actual throwline (e.g. Fling-It).
In addition to the manual wind-up little handle, it also has a slot inside the end of the large handle that will accept a slotted, battery operated screw driver. (~ $10).
Both handles spin very easily for easy, fast unwinding.

They certainly take up very little space, with no snaggles.

These don't work too badly. Cheap, too.

Edelrid is selling this in europe, same same as madrock one,
and work good..
i am professional too, but this bags cost really too much for what they are...and falteimer more than ever, 70e for it is crazy price.

I use a web box for camping, very similar to this one above but with the opening on the small side, you can close it the same way...the first time years ago, a friend brought it from Thailand and it was fantastic, but after some time it breaks the fabric, luckily last year in the metro station i've found a guy selling tons of it... price.....1 euro (1.5$)
That's worth the price.
I will need to make a couple of modification and it will be the best...cheap and best.

I use a large toolbag from Home Depot $20. it has a clip for your keys i attach the ends of the throwline and just flake the line into it. Then flake your climbing line strait out of the tree into it, right on top of your throw line saddle on top of that.

you can add spikes blocks etc. but it will get real heavy.

i stow two zing it lines with my rope on top of them and 95% of the time everything comes out tangle free. just make sure both of the throw balls go in after you flake the line. and make sure both or all four or six, depending on how many lines are in there, come out first or the line will wrap around them. also they have to be clipped of or of course they weave there way through every bite in the line and then your almost better off buying a new line than spend the man hours to untangle that mess.

that pizza box not very professional although recycling is a good thing.
 
This might sound strange. But I actually like untangling throwline (sometimes), their is sort of an art to it. You get real excited when you get down to your last few weaved together, tangled bights in the line
 
Yea I can agree that there can be a meditation in pulling loops through loops through loops, but that time would be more productive knitting a hat or something.

ill save the scheduled monotonous task for raking.
 
i use a milk crate with plastic cutting boards for dividers. i have five throw lines in it right now. it also stores the porty. peace and chicken grease
