    That's pretty cool. A quad-end stuff sack!

    Is that one big tube or did you sew in compartments?

    Awesome idea.

    Nice job gpig! I always see the grommet kits and think about grabbing one. I'll be sure to grab one next time.

    Thank you everyone for the info. I went to Harbor Freight and they have a kit which has the tools to install and 50 grommets for 3.99. Stitched up a bag I made from my old footprint for my now unused tent and it worked like a charm. Now I'm looking for 49 more things to put holes in.

    I hear you! I did the same thing and ended up making myself a pair of gaiters using some waterproof fabric (I used my instructions for a DIY double-sided stuff sack) and added grommets.

    If anyone was wondering of the packaging and contents for the Walmart stuff...

    That is very cool, great video. I'll be making one of those tomorrow. Nicely done.

    I can't believe I hadn't thought of grommets! I even had some laying around. I had just melted a hole in a stuff sack to make my bishop bag, but the hole has been growing lately... I just slapped a grommet on it and not only does it look way better, but it should stop the tear from spreading. Great idea, simple but the best ideas usually are!

    (We need a 'cheers' smiley like some other forums have. I would raise a glass to this idea if I could.)

    This is exactly why I check this forum multiple times daily. Love this easy solution. Will apply to both my ENO DN hammocks.

    Thanks
