Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an article and related system for hauling and deploying rope, including a main body having an upper portion defining a rim portion forming at least a portion of a primary opening into an interior chamber of the main body, a divider wall separating the interior chamber into at least two separate compartments inside the main body, a lid extending from the upper rim of the main body, the lid movable between a first orientation allowing access to the primary opening and a second orientation at least partially covering the primary opening, the lid having a peripheral edge forming a continuous extension of the rim portion that defines the portion of the primary opening, the lid including a loop structure at a central location on a free edge of the lid and an elongated seam binding attached to and covering the entirety of the peripheral edge and the rim portion, the seam binding forming a load bearing structural loop and a guide surface along the length of the rim portion and periph

Abstract: The present invention relates to carrying systems including packs and bags. One embodiment of the present invention is directed at a carrying system that includes a snow breathing apparatus. The system includes a carrying cavity, an attachment system, and a snow breathing apparatus. The carrying cavity is a partially enclosed region that is capable of storing items for transportation. The carrying cavity may further include a shell, a lid, a sealing system, a compression system, etc. The attachment system is coupled to an external surface of the carrying cavity to facilitate a removable coupling between the carrying cavity and a user. The attachment system may include two arm straps, a shoulder strap, a hip belt, a belt receiver, etc. The snow breathing apparatus is a device that enables breathing in a snow encapsulated breathing space in which breathing may otherwise be restricted.
