Looks benign, no? But within that little black bag is the tools of my trade…ropes, gags, duct tape; the works. And this bag (as it’s packed now) even goes thru airport security with no problems. 🙂 I used to worry about that, but the scissors you’ll see are SAFETY scissors, so not a problem. The only time a bag like this of mine got busted was my very first one; I was putting my video camera in the bag, and they scan separate for that, so I had to open the bag and explain the ball gags and such…just told them I was a fetish photographer and that was that. 🙂 Anyway; let’s look at the contents of the bag…
Front pouch. You can see the folded up bandanas and ball gags. 🙂 Now let’s turn it around and see one of the side pockets…
More folded up bandanas and white cleave gags. The white ones are especially cool…I love the look of a classic white cleave gag. 🙂 Other side pocket…
This one’s got some of the other stuff I use…duct tape roll (Nashua brand) and the two vibrators. I have a dark one and a light one so that when confronted with dark or light clothing, I’m covered, and can put either one of these into the crotch ropes. 🙂 Now, the top pocket…
This is the part I thought I’d get airport-security-busted for…the scissors. But fortunately, they’ll let under 4 inch blades go thru for even carry on items these days. 🙂 More bandanas as well…can’t be without those, right? 🙂 And finally, you must be asking…”Where’s the Rope???” Here we go…with the main part of the bag…
There are some specific cut lengths…but I don’t do the cutting very specifically. The larger coils are 50 ft. lengths…I’ll take one of those and just cut off what I feel will be enough for the specific area I’m binding and go with it. It’s a sloppy system at best and I prolly waste a lot of rope, but for the price I get it at (WalMart, 100 ft for $3.87), I can afford to. 🙂 After I untie a gal, I’ll just wind up the specific lengths and store them in the bag and throw out the too-small-to-be-useful pieces.
That’s a 50 footer by itself. Ain’t I a neatnik when it comes to my rope?? Isobel Wren really appreciated my neatness when it came to the rope…the first time she saw my bag opened, she practically drooled. 🙂 All that preparedness just to create binds like this one…

It’s all worth it, isn’t it? 🙂
Signing off for now…Tolstoy
I used to have some rope, but it became unwieldy because I never stored it properly. How do you tie up your rope so neatly?
Thanks for asking! 🙂 Hopefully once I’ve written this out, it’ll still make a modicum of sense…
OK. Take the rope you want to wrap up by both ends. Follow down it until you find the point where the rope doubles at and bring that back up to the two ends. Keep doubling the ends until you get a base that’s about a foot long and has many coils of rope.
After this, pull out one of the loose ends and separate it from the it from the base. You’ll have to do this with trial and error a few times to find out how much you’ll need to cover the rest. Once you have a solo line of bunches of feet away from the base, find where the solo line branches off from the rest and hold it down. Start wrapping the solo line around the base until you run out of line, then tuck the loose end under one of the coils.
Again…thanks for the question; hope that made at least a touch of sense. 🙂
Greetings from Texas,
I had a coffee table with drawers, also a couple of end tables, to keep the bundles out of sight. As one girl explained to me in my mispent youth, getting tied up is one thing. Seeing a hardware store worth of rope spread out was a bit unnerving.
My travel bag was a Navy Issue Fliers Clothing Bag from World War Two. I wish I still had it.
