I’m looking to upgrade the way I carry/use my rappel rope. I’m currently running a drop out bag and it is nice. However, I find it a little hard at times to roll up my rappel rope and get it back it the openings. I’ve used a roll up pouch as well. Loved the design just a little hard at times as well.
I’ve been looking at how big the TX5 Pouches are. I see they offer the ability to clip them onto your saddle or pack using the Quick Draw Clips. I’m interested in seeing how many if any carry their rappel rope in a pouch attached to your backpack. Then how do you get to and use that rappel rope.
Option 1: At the bottom of the tree pull out your rappel rope and just let it hang, (just let it hang down as you climb). Then pull it up once you are setup and store it back in the pouch for the duration of the hunt. (You could also use it as some type of pull up rope)
Option 2: At the bottom of the do you detach the pouch and reattach it to your saddle, while maintaining all the rope in the pouch as you climb.
