DIY Tyvek Stake/Suspension/Misc Organizer
First of all, I got the idea somewhere on here a few months ago, I think. I can't remember who it was that did this but if someone lets me know, I'll edit this to give them credit.
EDIT: It was ExPXGUY's that I'm remembering. Thanks, ExPXGUY!
This was ridiculously simple, (essentially) free, and hopefully functional. And it's lightweight.
Started with a Tyvek mailing envelope, peeled off the little strip to seal it, and sealed it up:

Folded it in half such that it would fit the biggest thing I planned on putting in there, which was a big steel stake in my case:

Drew a line 1" from the crease on either side:

Cut that section out:

Drew lines where I wanted the divisions between pockets to be:

Then sewed on the lines (doesn't look any different, I know. XD ):

Load it up:
Two tree huggers, two toggles, two Dynaglide whoopies, two steel stakes, 4 Ti hook stakes, 4 MSR Groundhog Minis

Roll it up and stick a small loop of shock cord around it:

14 grams, perfectly acceptable to me! Hopefully it works out well, I don't see why it shouldn't.

I like that idea... I like organizing stuff... And I hate things clinking together in ny pack... I like my pack to be as quiet as possible when I walk so that may solve a few issues in one swipe...

Lol, this is funny, I ordered tyvek envelopes thru my business and was going to dream up ways to use them. Good stuff. Thing I had to acknowledge when ordering them is a message that I could be prosecuted for using us mail envelopes for other than what was
Intended. That message popped up just before confirming the order.
I could only find the one size else would love a backpack liner size envelope. I wonder about ups having one...
