Where/How do you store your hardware?

[Les Rust]

My tarp lines stay attached; I've got pockets on the ends of some Fronkey snake skins for the CRL. Hammock goes in Bishop bag with suspension. My stakes all gone in an old tyvek envelope that I call my "bag of tricks"--it also has a few extra dog ones, some soft shackles, and extra bits of cordage. My "bag of tricks" stays in the outside front pocket of my pack.

Tarp guy lines stay on the tarp, and rolled up with the fabric when storing in snake skins. Ridgeline stays on the tar and is used to bind up the tarp "bundle".

Hammock suspension, and stakes go in a roll up organizer like this:

This is what works for me.
Un-doing Procedure:
1. stuff topquilt in main compartment of rucksack.
2. take off underquilt and stuff in main compartment of rucksack.
3. take off whoopees from toggle and stuff hammock (including fronkey net) in main compartment.
4. stuff treestraps, Marlin spike and tarp stakes into side compartment of Rucksack (the netted one)
5. slide snake skin over tarp.
6. undo tarp ridgline and store in in snake Skin pockets.
7. fold snake-skinned tarp and attach to the outside of Rucksack (the contraption where normally the pad/mat is attached)

Notice: Main compartment of Rucksack serves as compression sack for hammock and insulation.

Wow.. I love this bag! is this a DIY or can it be purchased?

Okay... drew ideas from all of you and here's where I am..

All guy lines & CRL stays attached to the tarp as do the biners, and tarp goes in one bishop bag.

Tree straps, with double diamond lock-offs, and the whoopies go in one sack and stakes go in a different sack (repurposed nylon sunglass sack) that goes in the sack with the whoopies. Gives me the option to hang one, the other or both outside the pack if needed.

hammock and side pull-outs go in their own bishop bag.

Thanks! That's my own creation. Every once in a while I start going through my scraps and will create some knickknacks to sell here. These were REALLY popular.

If your interested in one just send me a PM. I've still got plenty of scrap material laying around.

My stakes go in a Tarp Stake Bag of course.

that's what I use.... like it a lot!!

[Al Icks]

Stakes in stake bag, inside another bag with spare lines and a small piece of folded up tyvek. Separately, the tarp with lines attached goes in the tarp sleeve and then in it's stuff sack.

For the sake of closure and for others seeking a storage solution I ended up getting a storage bag from Boston.. We added a small pocket, in between the two larger pockets, to hold the CRL. Everything fits with plenty of room to spare and it rolls up tightly, and secures with a bungee.

Tarp goes in snakeskin with ridgeline/guy lines attached.
Stakes go in the stake organizer

Well done on that organizer!!!


I use a AHE stake bag, lines get rolled up in the tarp with skins, CRL gets wrapped around that into the front mesh of the pack. Hammock goes into Bishop bag and straps go into mesh pocket with tarp. I may be getting an AHE sap sack or whatever they are called though. They are cool and high vis.

I use a simple envelope style bag for stakes, very similar in shape to the Arrowhead one above. I made mine with a Tyvek FedEx envelope, cut to size, with the open end taped with a little tyvek tape. Works great, super tough and essentially free.
