Cord Winder for food bag kits

Cord winder or sometimes called line holder for food bag or bear bag kits. We get our ideas from our customers. After watching a video of a hiker using a larger "kite winder" to organize his bear bag line we had an idea. A purpose built smaller version that is lighter, stronger and highly functional for its intended purpose.

Keep your bear bag line nice and neat. No more rat nests!

*Cord winder only. Does not include line or rock/throw sack.

Essential Gear

I don't know how I lived as long as I did without this cord winder. Endless systems of trying to keep my bear line free from tangles. This little gizmo makes it so easy. I keep it in a dyneema pouch with my rock sack, dog bone ( you'll absolutely want one of these too!) and locking biner. And stow it in my flat bottom bright orange food sack. I'm so grateful for the Hilltop packs crew!
Free tip. If you have trouble throwing your line high enough, use the end of your trekking pole as a launcher. Works so great!

Easy to see in the dark and to use

This is great for winding up finer cords and so easy to see because it glows in the dark. It also has several options to place the tail end of the cord so it doesn’t unwind. So many cord winders don’t have good places to for the end of the cord or the cord comes out which it doesn’t on this winder. Now we just need bigger winders just like this for thicker cords!

SImple does the job intended

SImple and does the job intended. I did lose it twice on my first trip using it which made me thnk of Buckley for some reason. Thanks to the bright orange for allowing it to be found both times.

Great piece of kit

I love the cord winder for Lawson glow wire to keep it from tangling up on itself.

Simple to Use and Light

I have an orange cord winder which I have been using. When I saw the Glow in the Dark cord winder, I bought it so I could find my bear bag much easier. I really like how light it is and fits in the rock throw bag for storage.

No More Tangles

Finally, a cord winder that fits my 2.2mm reflective line. I tried other cord winders, and my cord did not fit. So much easier to keep my cord organized and easy to find in my bear bag or on the ground.
Thanks Hilltop!

Why has no one else thought of this?

This little doodad weighs basically nothing and eliminates an annoying hassle with bear hangs. And thanks for making it orange so it’s less likely to get lost.

Perfect!

Fits right in my throw sack and keeps my cord from getting all tangled. Thankfully it's orange. I dropped it in the rocks/boulders when hanging my bear bag. It was easy to find.

Awesome!

Wonderful product to help keep your cord organized. There's nothing worse than spending 5-10 minutes detangling you cord before hanging your food bag. Not only are you tired from the hike but you're also dealing with rain/ snow and pitch dark environment. Also, if you're in a rush when taking down your food bag, this makes it easier to maintain your cord organized in seconds. It's not heavy so definitely worth the money.

SO GLAD I FOUND THIS!

This thing ROCKS! No more tangled line or wondering what to do with your excess line when you hang your bag. You guys keep coming up with these gadgets and I will keep singing your praises!

Dude

You don't know what you need until you find it. And YES, you need this. I am so over tangled, heavy cordage. It's perfect with the 2.2 cord.

Great cord management system!

I’m a fan of it. My rock sack and line are too.
