Top 3 Ways to Store Arborist Rope - TreeStuff

We know you use a lot of rope, so TreeStuff has put together this video detailing the three best ways to keep your arborist rope organized and tangle free. In this video, you'll learn how to properly hand coil your rope, store your rope in a rope bag, and how to shoulder coil large diameter ropes.

This was the 3rd and only video of the 3 that showed how to bag it. Seems to be that bagging is the best option to help avoid a big mess on longer ropes like the 200' rope just bagged. Thanks!

Thank you, this is great and saved. I was watching your tutorial beginning with my 5/8” bull line rope. I have two huge oaks to deal with. I did the arm wind just to get everything relaxed as the rope came new wound and wrapped. 5/8” isn’t a lot of fun. Then I bagged it coiled. Next came the Bazooka 1/2”. I ended up tying that to my truck hitch to get it relaxed. Then I did the coiled method and bagged it. After I use these, if they don’t get damp, I’ll just bag them and per demo 2. I have a ways to go practicing with my equipment a few feet off the ground on an 8-10 walnut I cut back to cut down.

An older rock climber showed me the shoulder technique but for long ropes he doubled it up by taking both the ends together to start it out. As I've been using it, works pretty nicely and saves heaps of time.

What are some of the best brands of rope bags? For standing up, durability, and maybe to carry up with you for rigging?

You could also store it in a plastic bucket, with a lid, if it's not damp or wet, right ?

I was amazed/disappointed that someone with such a good reputation And was linked to his video by a reputable arborist company, would start the video with one of the worst ways to stow climbing lines. He even goes on to explain why it’s one of the worst ways it dismisses it as a fact of life.

Twist/kinks in ropes are not “a fact of life”. They don’t just appear on their on. They form/appear because someone’s improper handling (in this case stowage). To recommend twisting the rope as you coil it is just absurd. Those twist/kinks that you ran into are there because of your recommendation. Every one of the twist that you place in the rope will have to be worked out before the rope is readily usable. This is especially true with longer lengths.
