DIY Rope Tamers

[Bach55]

Hey all you DIYers that are way more creative than me! Anyone come up with a way to tame their ropes similar to the product linked below? Kudos to this guy on his innovation. He’s a fine American entrepreneur I’m sure, but I can’t stomach $15/clip. Looking for the same functionality but at a much more reasonable cost, so I’m hoping there are some ideas or examples out there!

Tethrd “One” Stick Rope Tamer Clip

*This can only be used on the Tethrd One Sticks. Sold individually.* Everyone likes a clean setup. It helps make your trip in the woods more efficient overall. Well this product does just that. No more wrapping your Amsteel rope, or aider around your sticks. Just wrap them up into a bundle, pull...

I can’t exactly see what is going on from the pics in your link, but some shock cord and tactical toggles are a cheap, effective way to keep ropes contained and easy to release.

Cheap / Effective Mod to Carry Rappel Rope

Just passing this 10 cent mod along to anyone interested. Perhaps it’s been done before but I haven’t seen it. Simple, effective, lightweight, cheap, and dual purpose - what’s not to love! What you need: two washers, a bit of paracord, a bit of shock cord, stealth strip (optional) I girth...

This is something I do with my rappel rope I think you could do the same thing on a stick if you wanted. Probably would cost you 10 cents per stick...

Just run the bungee cord directly onto the washer and when the cords are deployed make sure it’s tight enough to stay wrapped on the stick.

Do you have pics of how you use that? Struggling to visualize it.

 

[mtsrunner]

No pics now. Run the cord through both holes and tie the shock cord in a loop that is smaller than your bundle of rope. Use the toggle as a handle to stretch the loop of cord over your rope and then tuck the toggle under the tightened loop to hold everything tight.

Not really the same, but in a similar fashion that might interest someone; I’m a working climber/ arborist and sometimes I like this 30’ positioning lanyard, I get the vibe that you weirdos call it a “ lineman’s belt”?
It’s a Gecko Toes extension cord holder cut in half. They’re both 11mm Samson Velocity rope different colors, the orange is about 30’ the blue is 16 I think.

, it’d probably work for 10mm.

@mtsrunner For the win! Great, simple mod that will make my life much easier. I hate having crap everywhere when I’m climbing. With this, I can have ropes contained right up until I need them and can put them away as I climb down.

For my SRT rope, once at height I have a continuous loop that I'll girth hitch around the rope loops once I pull it up and hang it off of my saddle's platform hook. Keeps it out of the way yet easy to redeploy.

Nite ize. Not diy but not terribly expensive
