Where to buy well made stuffsacks?

What is you guy's favorite stuffsack for tarps (either just the tarp, or stuffing in the tarp with the snakeskins)? Single or double ended? Let me know where I can buy some, and preferably at an affordable price, as I am not overly concerned with weight (cuben fiber etc).

I've been stuffing my tarp-in-snakeskins into a small cuben sack from Zpacks, but I think I'm going to dump the sack and just put the snakeskins into my pack. My tarp is the last thing I pack other than the day's food and maybe a jacket, so I'm not worried about it getting damaged in the pack.

I generally just make my own, but many of the vendors sell stuff sacks as well.

I just made a double ended stuff sack and it couldn't have been easier. It is just a tube with channels for drawstrings on each end. Much easier than a single ended one.

For my tarp and tree huggers, I use the double ended stuff sack that Dutch provides with his hammocks. I use it as a bishop bag (head end always cinched up). It was nicely made and Dutch sells them separate.

If you decide to go with one of these, contact Dutch first and let him know what tarp you have so you can be sure it will fit in the stuff sack.

Bought a couple yards of cuban, tape and micro cord locks from Dutch. Making cuban stuff sacks is surprisingly easy and the about half the cost of pre made cuban stuff sacks.

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like I'll give a shot at making my own double ended stuffsacks!

once you start making them you will find a hundred other uses for them.

The double ended stuff sack makes a good daypack: just run a webbing sling through it and wear it over your shoulder.

Check out www.simplylightdesigns.com also. Jared makes great gear and he whipped me up a orange sil bag with a zipper for personal items. Never need a light to find it in my pack
