In Reply to: OT: how do you store/organize rigging? posted by Glenn in CA on Wednesday, September 05, 2007 at 15:06:18 :
I'm a bit embarrassed to say I keep most of my rigging in an old aluminum transit case in the back of the truck. There's several binder chains and chain binders, a chain sling, some web straps, assorted shackles, cable choker, and a 1-ton chain hoist. The trouble is the case is a hard 2-man lift when full. The trouble is if I organized things nice and neat in a shed, they wouldn't be available where I need them, which is with the truck. One thing I learned early, though, is to keep them in a waterproof box. It's way nicer to work with rigging that's clean and non-rusty.
