Ramrod Rigs and Carriage

[Aldarith]

I'm really fond of the setup that Németh Balázs is using in his 1796 M Jagerstuetzen video.
He has a full length rod which is retained by a lanyard and transported in a carriage ring on his bag.
Is there a name for this sort of setup? Is it based on a historical precedent?

I'd love to see other carriage solutions for transporting a full length rod outside of a gun carriage as well.
Seems like a nice way to have one 'does-it-all' sort of kit bag set up!

Idk about a name but if you're dealing with a long gun carrying a 44" rod outside the ram rod channel is just not practical lol even a 36" rod is quite cumbersome which is the only reason I use the wooden rod with my .32 at all ever.

He also has one on a sling so that it rides on his back when not in use.

Maybe it isn't the ideal but it doesn't seem as cumbersome as all that!

IMHO it's just more stuff to lug afield.

Looks very inconvenient to me. Fail to see why anyone would like it.
Maybe I’m missing something?

I’m thinking this was a military setup. Central European rifleman of the early nineteenth century.
However we know that frontiersman did carry a spare rod ‘wiping stick’. And we have a painting of a Great Lakes indian with a wiping stick along with his gun
