what's in your rigging bags?! Show em up !

we use sampson 1/2" and we make sure to lay it. used to keep it in a bag during rigging but then the pigtails run into your hands.
i miss using true blue 12 stand because it never hockled. but then again i dont miss the stretch
 
who's runs that sterling atlas rigging line? that line milks more than Garlic Farms and gets more pigtails than a lonely farmer.

more than sampson 1/2" double braid anyway in my experience. and

Sack truck is the red cart I assume? That's actually for moving logs and such not the rigging gear

thanks for getting back with the photo as promised KevinS, I was being sarky comparing the carrying capacity of the cart to my cruisers carrying capacity and the relative size of the rigging gear in my case versus yours - swing dude got it didn't ya swing? ;)

I use it. Pigtail city for sure. Groundmen are not thrilled with it. I'll be checking out some Teufelburger rigging lines this spring. It serves its purpose, but :aburrido:

Sure bet Stihlmadd, I laughed my ass off...at least he got a drinks cart, I still cut everything and load by hand but I am a neanderthal...which I dig...just the part of the world I live ....dark ages
 
I ain't messing with nothing DMM right now...they don't support SRT so screw that...I dig ISC...just sold my two impact blocks to Crazy Jimmy...so Tuefelberger rigging lines could take a hike...give me SAMSON...strongest name in rope....If treestuff carried double esterlon...Samson could start flying kites...1/2" and 9/16" would do most shit I do...common Luke, let's get some double esterlon...I will put that forward soon...anyway I will soon be blockless...bye bye asta la vista...won't miss ya,......2 more ta go, 12 slings and all.....

I used to do that but a sore back this last year made me make some changes to my work style. Productivity wise 1 log is equal to 5-6 firewood size pieces so 1 trip compared to 6 and if you do removals every day that adds up a lot
 
Hmm...firewood pieces I think not
....logs bro logs....that little cart might move two....3 at a pinch...I rather lift one and toss it in the truck than push that drinks cart...plus 1 less thing to tote around with...I am a minimalist these days..men move shit..backs here strong...
 
I don't post pics anymore cause the phone I got now the images to large and I could not be bothered to resize...that is what FB forums are for me....
 
I don't use a (rigging) bag, I use crates I buy from Grainger that are in 4 different sizes and all interlock together. I like stuff to get aired out and I like to look at stuff at the end of the day to make sure it all makes the trip home...and makes the trip to the job. Stuff will be less prone to being damaged in these heavy plastic crates than obscured in a bag too.

You are going to want a THT for sure then. That belay spool might be cool too.

I'll be looking at the tht .I'm not super happy with belay spool . I do not like how the rope jams on the trunk if its not hanging completely away from anything.No rope protection. Angles of tree work aren't always straight forward and were moving loads where need and the thing turns and binds up it pissed me off yesterday had to hike all the way back up to turn the thing so rope could run . and with a heavy pine limb on it was a chore. I have only used it a time or two before since recently received it ,but I'm not thrilled with it . Another thing, with one full turn on it with polydyne ,it was a pain in th ass just to run it up for next limb . Had to keep flipping the line as i pulled the other side. I don't have time for dicking around with silly shit like that.
