The walk out of the marsh is easier when your birds ride on your shoulder instead of in your hands. The Gadwall duck carrier from Chambless Game Totes pairs a stitched English bridle leather strap with 12 drops of 550 military grade paracord, each with a solid brass cinch ring. It was designed to avoid making return trips when bringing ducks and geese out of the blind.
What sets the Gadwall duck carrier apart
Chambless makes several duck totes that look alike at a glance, so the details matter. Where the CBLESS duck carrier uses six paracord drops, the Gadwall doubles that to 12. And where the Gadwall II uses leather drops, the original Gadwall uses 550 paracord. It can be carried over the shoulder or around the neck.
Paracord drops have practical advantages in wet conditions. 550 cord is light and quick drying, and it is easy to rinse off after a muddy hunt. The leather is saved for the strap, where it matters most for comfort on the walk out.

Who the Gadwall duck tote is for
With 12 drops, this tote suits hunters who regularly carry a full strap of birds: groups who pool their ducks for the walk out, guides, and goose hunters who need more drops than a six-line tote offers. If you hunt alone and carry a handful of ducks, a smaller tote like the single paracord duck carrier may be all you need.
How to use a cinch-ring duck carrier
- Load at the neck. Slip a drop's loop around a bird's neck and slide the brass cinch ring down to snug it.
- Balance the load. Spread birds across drops on both sides so the strap rides evenly on your shoulder.
- Unload at the truck. Use the brass connector to detach the drops from the strap, which makes it easier to hand birds off, clean them or store the tote.
- Dry before storage. Let the leather strap air dry away from direct heat after a wet hunt, and condition it now and then.
Pairs well with
A leather and paracord duck call lanyard matches the Gadwall's bridle leather, brass and paracord colors. For phones, keys and shells in the boat, a Seminole watertight protective case keeps gear dry. See every model side by side in the Chambless game totes collection, or pick your paracord color on the Gadwall duck carrier product page.
