What can you do with a large kite in a strong breeze which has swung out over the ocean or very rough terrain ? Walking the kite down with a carabiner is out, unless you plan to walk along the ocean floor or up and down hills, rocks and scrub. In Adelaide our solution, thought of by one of our Kite club members, is to use a boat winch, the sort you mount onto a boat trailer to wind the boat in. You need to have some slack in the kite line initially to ensure the line can hold on the drum of the winch and then hand wind the line in, ensuring you have anchored the wind securely. What other ways are there to do this ? What have you used ?
