FIGS. 13-18 provide another embodiment of a reel 26a that can be used with the hub 30. The reel 26a illustrated in FIGS. 13-18 is smaller than the reel 26 illustrated in FIGS. 1-6. In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 13-18, the reel 26a is a more compact size to improve transportability. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the reel 26a can be carried as a backpack. The reel 26a includes a drum 34a supported by a stand 38a. The drum 34a includes an open front wall 46a defining an opening 58a for receiving the hub 30 and a closed back wall 42a for mounting to the stand 38a. The stand 38a includes a platform 74a and a center support 70a extending upwardly from the platform 74a. A backpack plate 242 is removably coupled to the center support 70a. The backpack plate 242 can include backpack straps that enable a user to carry the reel 26a on his/her back. If desired, the backpack portion of the reel 26a (i.e., the backpack plate 242 and straps) can be removed from the reel 26a.
