I get a lot of questions on my gear so here is an explanation of what I currently employ. Petzl, CMC, SMC, PMI, Camp, Kong, Black Diamond, Scarab, Notch, Rock Exotica, etc.
Hey Perry, been a BIG help so far. Just having your videos to refer back to are great addition to my tool bag bro! Thanks & great job.Does any of ur videos have links for finding some of your gear listed in the details? I'd like looking into some of your lockers, pretl's, and heavy carabiners.
You can always google the brand names although a lot of these companies sell through third parties. Try Wesspur or Sherrill Tree for a decent selection of hardware and rope. If you want strictly rescue products start with CMC and Petzl. But there are other great brands such as PMI and Yates out there too. Once you start down the rabbit hole you’ll see a lot of reoccurring names. Thanks for the encouragement too!
I use a tool bag for the most part. Sturdy with lots of storage and a lot cheaper than an official rope or gear bag. Gear is set up for a haul/lower operation per bag. I have two identical bags loaded fundamentally the same but with extra specialty hardware in one or the other. The two bags together contain enough stuff that there isn't much I can't do.
Perry, are you a fire fighter? Are you a member of a SAR team for law enforcement?? You have some awesome gear. I am a whore for gear, and I have gear envy for your collection!

What bag are you using to carry your gear and how do you set it up? Thanks for the videos

Retired firefighter, spent most of my career in rescue. They've come a long way in rope gear from when I started but it's expensive. You'll get there.
