[Montbell etc] Let’s incorporate convenient “carabiner” into our daily lives depending on our ingenuity! Introducing how to use and recommended products!

carabiner is an outdoor item mainly used outdoors such as mountain climbing and climbing, but recently many people use it everyday, and it is attracting attention as a fashionable and convenient item. There are various types of carabiner sold at sporting goods stores, but you may be wondering what to choose. This time, I will introduce how to use carabiner.

 

A carabiner is a metal ring-shaped device that can be opened and closed by connecting ropes for mountain climbing, rock climbing, etc.

Check the safety standards and use it according to your purpose!

The original usage of carabiner is a metal ring-shaped device that can be opened and closed by connecting a lifeline and a rope for rock climbing, mountain climbing, and mountain climbing routes where there is a risk of slipping.

 

When using it for mountain climbing where there is a risk of slipping, it plays an important role in saving lives because it is used by putting the body on a rope or carabiner.

 

Therefore, when using it outdoors such as rock climbing, it is necessary to choose one with solid strength.

 

There is a mark attached as a guideline for safety standards, so I will introduce that.

 

“UIAA” is displayed for those that meet the safety standards of the International Mountain Federation, and “CE” is displayed for those that meet the European standards.

There is a description of Trango’s carabiner / “CE”

In addition, recently, there is also a carabiner that is sold at a low price so that it is easy to use everyday.

 

The key holder type carabiner that I wholesaled at Montbell before had a warning saying “Please do not use it for climbing or supporting the load of the human body”.

 

Choose a carabiner that suits your purpose and use it safely.

 

The following “How to use carabiner” are all basic and very easy! It is convenient for everyday use with a little ingenuity, so please give it a try.

 

There is also an article on the Hapican site that has a cute arrangement of carabiner and an article that introduces fashionable carabiner, so please refer to that as well.

 

Convenient use of carabiner ① Attach it to a zack or bag and hook a cup etc.! Infinite usage depending on the device

The carabiner is an item that can be used by hooking it on various things by pushing down the metal part that opens and closes, but it is convenient to attach a carabiner to the zack and hook a cup etc. on it.

 

It’s a good way to do it when you go mountain climbing, but small items such as cups can get lost in the zack.

 

Items that are frequently used and that cannot be taken out immediately when you want to use them can be used immediately by hooking them on the carabiner. In addition, it may be used by hooking bulky luggage such as a trash bag with contents.

 

The carabiner is also very useful when attaching a key holder to the children’s backpack.

【Product information】

• Material: Aluminum alloy (both carabiner and whistle)

 

• Weight: 11g

 

• Size: 26 x 50 mm (carabiner) / diameter 9 x 52 mm (whistle)

This is a product that combines Montbell’s carabiner and whistle.

 

It’s a great place to mark your child’s backpack, but it also comes with a whistle that’s useful in emergencies when you go camping or hiking, so it’s also recommended as a preparation.

 

Convenient use of carabiner (2) Attach a house or car key instead of a key holder and use it as a bag or belt! Also bring disinfectant!

If you attach a house key, car or bicycle key to the carabiner, you can hang it on your bag or belt when you are not using it.

 

If I put it in my pocket, the key will fall, and I forgot where I got it only when I was in a hurry! This method is recommended for those who have lost their keys.

 

It is also recommended to apply a portable disinfectant to the carabiner and hang it on your bag while the corona is rampant.

 

Convenient use of carabiner ③ As a simple trash box for the inside of the car! Also for organizing children’s toys that tend to be cluttered

When garbage comes out in the car, it is difficult to find a place to throw it away.

 

Even if you don’t have a place to hook the trash bag, you can easily complete the trash box by hooking the carabiner on the neck of the driver’s seat or passenger’s seat and hanging the bag.

 

When you go out with small children, you want to bring a toy. In such a case, if you put it in a bag and hang it, it is easy and convenient to put it in and out.

 

Convenient use of carabiner ④ Cut / tighten / open / start a fire! ?? Utilize the multi-tool equipped type!

It is a carabiner that can be used in various ways depending on the device, but recently, a multifunctional carabiner that can be used for various purposes has been released.

 

This time, we picked up a carabiner called “firebiner” that can do many roles with one.

 

EDC Element firebiner Multi Tool carabiner

【Product information】

Material: Reinforced stainless steel

Size: Approximately 80mm x 35mm

Weight: Approximately 28g

 

The fire binner can be used not only as a normal carabiner, but also has a “utility blade” that can cut thin ropes, a “screw driver” that can turn plus and minus, a “bottle opener”, and a “fire wheel” that can be used as a metal match. increase.

 

A fire wheel is a function that plays the role of a flint and is a so-called fire starter! (The mechanism is such that if you turn the rounded wheel part strongly with your finger, a spark will come out.) Using that spark, you can ignite something that loosens a linen string or something that easily catches fire, and it will start a fire. What is it?

 

It is already a carabiner as a survival tool, so I think it is safe to have one when camping.

 

I want to think about the scene I want to use and get a “carabiner” that suits my purpose! Let’s incorporate it into our daily life and use it conveniently!

Originally made for EDC use, it is a very convenient item that can be easily incorporated into everyday life and can be used in various ways depending on the device. Moreover, many fashionable items are sold at affordable prices that are easy to reach. Why don’t you find your favorite one that suits your purpose and use it?
