    I ordered mine about 2 hours after Sean announced their availability. I also bypassed his generous offer and just paid retail in order to expedite the process (buy yourself lunch on me, Sean). I'll have to do pictures tomorrow since my camera is locked up in the bucket truck tonight.

    The construction looks great, the material seems a little different (or it may just be my perception). I'll report back in a week after I get a chance to use them a few times. :)

    Rope bag project...

    I got my 2 new red HC rope bags today. :D I don't think they are quite as stiff as the blue ones, but they are very nice. I will finally be able to replace that stupid Sherril bag that holds my 9/16" stable braid. You know the one, with the floppy top that gets in your way when you're trying to...

    And another thing, Wesspur now sells climbing rope with a tight eye splice! It's been a couple years since my last rope purchase, and at that time my only options for a tight eye were Sherrill or splice it myself. So this time I was finally able to buy my rope from Wesspur, which pretty much...

    Rope bag project...

    I said a long time ago that if and when Wesspur ever brought the HC bags to market that I'd be first in line to buy a couple. Looks like I actually was the first. Just got off the phone with Wesspur and ordered 2 HC bags along with some of that Bailout cord and a new 200' climbing line. :D

    Hey Bob! Today I got to use the starter rope drawstring from your rope bag. I was on a job this morning and the guy I was working for broke his starter rope. I pulled the cord off the rope bag and he was up and running in about 5 minutes! Your great idea saved us a lot of time this morning. :D

    Wow, Bob! That friggin ROCKS! And WesSpur can count on me for the first bag order, I'd like to place my request for the first two bags off the line. (I'll be able to compare them to my two original HC bags. :/: ) :thumbup:

    Great news, and best wishes for a speedy recovery to the Bag Lady. :)

    At some point I wouldn't mind getting a 16" solid bag to hold a bullrope. But I'll wait until you get the production things worked out. ;)

    I could auction off my two used HC rope bags to those who aren't willing to wait, but I'm afraid I'm not willing to part with them. :P Sorry, but I had to rub that in... :D

    Rope bag project...

    Whenever I notice a loose thread on mine, I'll melt it with a lighter. The melted thread will also seal itself and prevent further unraveling.

    Bob, your rope bags ROCK and as far as I'm concerend you can take as much time as you want. As long as you're still making rope bags I'll never consider buying one from any other source. Although with my current supply of your bags and CMI bags I probably won't need another one in the next 3...

    Rope bag project...

    A nice touch but it wouldn't affect my purchase decision either way. My favorite feature of your bags is the fact that they are simple and inexpensive, and they WORK! I only ever bought one Buckingham rope bag and I hate it. Too many doodads and 'features' that I don't use. The side pockets...

    Rope bag project...

    Anybody want to buy a half dozen yellow CMI rope bags? Cheap? Even though I no longer use as many ropes as I once did, your dedication to quality and function makes me want to replace all my rope bags! Seriously, and I'm not just blowing smoke up your skirt, anyone who is even considering a...

    We wanna see a picture of the 'bag lady'! Is she camera shy? She deserves a big chunk of the credit as well, her craftsmanship is impeccable! :D

    Brendon, make your bed. :P And yes, these rope bags ROCK! Much better than the CMI bags I've been using for the last several years, without all the gimmicky unnecessary crap found on other bags (hint- Buckingham and Sherrill). :D

    They're here! I got a package in the mail today from Bob and opened it to find the two rope bags I ordered from him. I got to tell you folks, the pictures don't do them justice! I'm very impressed with the materials and construction. Off to the post office because I got busy and forgot to...

    Rope bag project...

    IMO the soft nylon closures such as on the Sherrill/ Buckingham rope bags totally bite. I have one of those bags and only use it for a spare bullrope because I hate trying to feed the rope back in the bag. It's also the most expensive rope bag I own, the oldest and the least used. As soon as I...
