Stuff sack design for skinny ropes
|
I'm looking for the ultimate stuff sack to quickly and efficiently stow my skinny ropes. Flaking has its place, but for quick deployment without tangles I think the stuff sack reigns supreme, especially when using something like tiny dyneema as a pull cord. However most stuff sacks are just that, simple sacks without much consideration on making the stuffing procedure easier. I've been teaching myself how to sew and making a stuff sack with all the bells and whistles would be a perfect project for my skill level ;) So, spitballing some ideas and requirements, and asking for input: Wide opening with closure Stiff enough fabric to stand up/keep the mouth open OR softer fabric with wire (?) or other material to give it some shape Aspect ratio - tall + skinny? Short + fat? Lightweight + packable Loop at top and bottom to secure/locate ends Loop to attach to harness Hole in bottom to stick knot through? Yes I'm aware of the "anyone into sewing" thread! :)   |

Take a look at the Tillit Rope Bag by Edelrid, it's made for half and twin ropes. |

Considered copying a “throw bag” from the white water people? |
Zach Cwrote: Yeah I came across some of those, they have some good design aspects - the hole in the bottom of the bag to secure the end with is a good one - but they aren't optimized for quick and easy stuffing. |

I use Imlay rope bags for canyoneering. They work well for throwing and stuffing. Hole in the bottom, as you mention above, a stiff upper rim to hold it open wide when stuffing, and handles for tossing. A good trick when stuffing is to clip a carabiner under your helmet chin strap and run the rope through that to put it into the bag directly below you. |

Double duty if you ice climb, these would probably hold a skinny rope well |

This what I use with a Purline. Love it. https://www.tightchutes.com/product-page/hells-gate-rope-sacks-rope-bag |

My 65m purline fits in a $3 walmart stuff sack with no fuss |
|
Use a conical section for your stuff sack shape rather than a straight cyclinder. It'll be easier to load the bag that way. |

The best I've seen are these tiny little 2-handle cloth (but not cotton) totes that work well for travelling/groceries as well and weigh less than 1oz The best ones have a little pouch, even with a snap, though just stuffing one into your pocket works great too. 2 handles it key, so you can clip them to something but they remain open for stacking or feeding out slack on a tagLeader and follower both have one. easily stuff into a tight pants pocket. Awesome for a tag line or pull cord (3-6mm), not really designed for a rope. These modern tag lines are so light (which is awesome!) that even a small windy or belayer movement tends to tangle them into a cluster, and these bags keep things way better. https://share.temu.com/WhXmyD9ECPA https://share.temu.com/0quYLHWZzpA https://a.co/d/3rYNSiv    |
