What's in your Rope Bag?

Team ropers and calf ropers always have their trusty rope bags (or cans) in tow everywhere they go. But, is the faithful piece of equipment full of ropes only, or are any surprises, secrets or superstitions in there as well?

Let's Rope asked the PRCA&'s reigning Reserve World Champion Header and Heeler about what they stash in their rope bags; here's what they admitted to!

“This is hard for me to answer, because I don’t use a rope bag! I use Classic ropes, and just leave them in my trailer. I keep about 10 ropes, some rubber, and roping gloves in there. And I never leave home without my phone!”

“In my bag, I keep water, Classic ropes, saddle horn rubber and gloves. I used to carry a lot of Oreos (yes…cookies), but I’m on a diet now. But every time I got a little nervous, I would just eat two or three Oreos to help me chill out. I keep at least six ropes, one or two older, but I want them feeling pretty new—not totally worn out. I never leave home without my backpack if I’m going to be on the road a while. I may just throw a coat in there, my passport or papers I may need, and anything extra I need to take with me when I travel.”
