How do you store your tarp stakes?

That is very clever!!!

It is a bag with a separate slot for every pencil, and it rolls up. You often see artists using them for their charcoals or colored pencils.

..so long as none of them are "gosh that's an ugly rug." And, yes, it was.

I have a few rolls of gortex in the basement that I've been wondering what to do with

I have that rug.... I just strap mine to the molle webbing on the outside of my pack.

This is a clever design. I think it came with my Big Agnes tent. The flap on the end is sewn over on the sides. The stakes don't fall out. To get them out, you just push the flap up (flap is 1.5"). Flap has to be right size. Too short and stakes might fall out, too long and you won't be able to get stakes out.

Simple to sew. Looks like 1.1 ripstop to me. Weighs 4g. I've used it for 3 years with no problems.

This is very clever, and I especially like that it doesn't have any velcro (because...well...dog hair) or ties.
