To quote Monty Python:
"Get me a Bucket!"
I saw these Chinese guys using these $1 wire spring laundry bags for rope buckets in Thailand. Way cool but too weak for walls. Nylon boxes held open by this springy wire like the sun shades you can buy for your car windshield. They twist and fold up like a clove hitch.
Names I'll have to think about.
"Rope Dumpster" comes to mind, or maybe "Slackster"
How about "Pile Cabinet"?
Peace

Funny you say that Karl,
Russ told me he was playing with his
laundry basket with a similar wire top and
that he was trying to incorporate it into a design.
I think I like this design better!

Anybody got a line on those laundry hamper things in solid nylon? I have one that's 6 years old a going strong, but it's mesh. Would definitely be the sh#t for single pitch cragging. I've found them online with a variety of cartoon characters on the side for that Humbert Humbert look, but they all seem to have at least 2 sides that are mesh.

Hey Lambone...
It doesn't stack the ropes on top of each other,
but it should work the same way..
Have your ropes tied together but stacked in
the different bags.

I was wondering what you guys thought would be a fair price to pay for one of those FISH double Bags-with-No-Name™?
I suppose by "fair", I mean fair to Russ too.
I'm gonna say, since most single bags are around $40 to $50,
I think Russ could probably get like $60 to $80 for one.
Alot probably depends on how long it takes one of his slaves to make one.
