Carrying Webbing in Large Amounts

[Chanobelli]

I was just curious as to how the rest of you carry 50-100 or more feet of webbing whether its rolled around something (Spooled), Folded, or made in to a long daisy chain or if you just stuff it into a small bag and hope you only need 10 feet at any given time so it

Daisy Chain for me. :cool2:

I keep mine stuffed in a dry sack only because I'm not sure of what else to do and I don't want the extra weight when it is wet.

What is a daisy chain?

I keep it in a couple 10, a couple 20, and a couple 30 ft sections all daisy-chained up.

Daisy at the bottom of the pack. Depending on the canyon, it may be in the dry bag. How about lengths, what do people usually take? On average, I take 50 feet, although sometimes a little less, or a lot more depending on the trip.

I roll about 30 feet into a disk, maybe with a rubber band, and then into a tight-fitting ziploc and then in the water-tank pocket of my pack.

Ooops, did I say MY pack - in someone else's pack usually.

Might bring more than one, depends on the canyon. Often in the drybag to prevent heavy weightage.

Daisy chain + drybag. I usually daisy it single strand so I only have to uncoil what I need at the time and never have to re-chain it.

From palm around elbow and back to palm, old school style. Yeah, I know...but there is a way to tie it off, and then pull the end of the line later to have it fall at your feet, without the salad effect. About 20 years ago this really sharp kid showed me how to do it. He worked on a big farm...those guys know lots of tricks.

Typically we take a 50'(ish) length, coiled like a rope, kept handy for short raps and hand lines and it gets used often for this purpose until its needed for anchoring/ replacing existing webbing on anchors. On the subject of webbing, I recently bought a length from rec outlet in the only color they had left: a nice dark green. Acceptable for anchors? Personally, I think it's more natural looking than black or grey.

Seems like a good color for me, except in the Grand Canyon.

I stuff it into my wetsuit. Start with the tail, and shove it down my chest, as if i'm putting it in a rope bag. Then i leave a short tail hanging out, so in case i need any, I just pull, and cut. It also adds warmth. So far quickest and convenient way for me. I've gotten away with 50ft.. i save about 5 min per anchor, instead of opening the bags.. bundling, and unbundling.. etc..

Great idea to save time just curious if it ever becomes uncomfortable when you cram 50' of webbing in there?

[Renatomic808]

Not uncomfortable at all. I barely notice its there to be honest. I will say sometimes it does get quite warm though, when i'm not swimming through the watercourse after a while.

For REAL?

[mzamp]

Always daisy chained.
I will keep maybe 20ft handy, the rest 30-50ft in a dry bag.
It only took me a few trips of never having to replace any webbing or build any anchors to realize that chances are they are not coming out of the dry bag.
I think I have finally used up all of my old climbing webing anchors (circa 1995 and earlier :facepalm1:). All I have now is webing purchased 2008 or later. :2thumbs:

When not in use I hang the webbing in my windows to use as drapes to block out the hot phoenix sun. :haha:

[Renatomic808]

For REAL?

YES for REAL. Was best used in "white rock canyon". burned through 100ft of webbing, and over 13 rappels. Having the webbing easy to access at each drop was HUGE

[Scott P]

Coiled like a rope.

[optikal]

I bring 50-100ft depending on the area/canyon. If it's a "no bolts canyon/area", I usually bring 100ft as most of those anchors require ~20-30' to avoid grooving/sticking the pull, and I've seen a few that were twice that.

My webbing gets a butterfly coil and sits in the bottom of my pack. I like the idea of throwing it in the bladder sleeve in the pack, I might start doing that. :2thumbs:

[dweaver2130]

Daisy chain here too.

[Bootboy]

I use a small stuff sack and just pile it in like a rope bag.
