combination lock biner

[BigJohn]

Have you all seen the combination lock biners? I was just browsing at the local army navy store and came across one. It has a three digit combination on the gate. Its not rated for climbing but its a great lock for my new gear bag. I picked up a cool duffle completely waterproof with some inside pockets. I am tired of the little things that just come up missing. We all the have the same gear pretty much when it comes to micro pulleys and biners. I find something missing. I have a feeling who but its better just not to point and fingers. Maybe once I start locking things up they wont walk off. One guy at work is always asking for things cause I have so many of them. I loaned him a saddle with some bent gate biners on it and get back without the biners that he says isn't there and now he has those same biners on his saddle hmmm... Wouldn't be so bad if the gear is just given to me but I work just as hard as next guy to purchase gear.

A while ago I started painting all of my hardware. To make mine easily identifiable I picked the mostly manly color I could find, PINK. Marking soft gear is more problematic. Locking is the best.

Hey Tom! Ive got HOT PINK throwline bags!!! 10oz in size (and 1 14oz). PS-see OAS forum.

As for missing gear, I keep REALLY close tabs on my stuff. When I go on vacation or lengthy time off, my gear bag goes home with me. Although now no one really knows much about any of it (rookies), it keeps them honest. I too usually let the rookies know the stuff is MINE and keep your hands off. If I do loan something out, I keep it in sight and retreive it ASAP.
