I did something similar, but no where as nice as yours. I simply trimmed an envelope down to about 6 inches of the bottom. I drop my 4 stakes into it, roll up, and secure with a dollar store shoe lace.
I like yours much better.

Well Maybe going to jail is what i need.
Thanks, y'all, for the replies.
Yeah, that might make it easier. I just made a small incision with a razor blade, then stuck scissors in there, but that might be an extra little insurance, lol.
I would imagine they can come in different sizes, but I don't know for sure.
And here's what's inside:
Two tree huggers, two toggles, two Dynaglide whoopies, two steel stakes, 4 Ti hook stakes, 4 MSR Groundhog Minis
Yeah, I've heard about that. I think it's a silly rule (law, apparently), especially if you're reusing them. I totally understand if you're just going in and picking up a ton of envelopes and making stuff out of them, but jeez, c'mon. Better than the landfill if you ask me.
Kyle, I for one think you made up a cool little setup. If I could sew this idea could be implemented. Maybe double sided tape is the ticket.
Good work! I've made some stuff sacks and a ridgeline organizer out of tyvek. It's pretty easy to work with.
FYI, Fedex envelopes work just as well (same size), but don't carry the heavy penalty of mis-using federal government goods.
Thanks for posting. I will do this soon.
This could hang over a ridgeline for glasses and cell phone etc too.
I think Fed Ex envelopes are better quality than USPS.
I put a strip of corrugated cardboard box in my stake bag and put the stakes between the corrugation. Light weight and keeps stakes from puncturing things.
I threw something together with tyvex home wrap from dutch. I use it for stakes and zing-it. Works great.
And if you don't like the color a black sharpie marker works well on the envelopes. I made a couple of stuff sacks when i was learning to sew. Reused envelopes before i ordered material. Holds up great. Going to have to give this a try sometime.
