Good evening--
I am curious if anyone else has the problem of storing hammocks, tarps, underquilts and topquilts in bags or stuff sacks then forgetting what is in which bag.
For example, you arrive at your selected site and start setting up camp, i generally hang the respective stuff sack on the piece of equipment, but there are times when i dont and stuff sacks end up all in one hanging on the ridgeline until the trip is over and i pack up....
This is not really a big deal in the field....
But what I want to do is to while at home preparing for the upcoming trip not have to open each stuff sack and see which tarp, hammock, UQ, TQ, etc is in each sack..I started out using various colored bags, but i tend to forget which is in which colored sack easily....
SO...my question is has anyone developed a system that works for them...ie:
1.using paint markers to label the stuff sacks--will that hurt the sil nylon that most sacks are made of
2.stitch labels onto the sacks--will that mean they are no longer water proof due to the holes
3.label the draw strings somehow to help keep everythign identified...
Please share your thougths...
Thanks
