Does anyone know a supplier of stuff sacks that open / close at both ends? I saw a thread about these awhile back but don't remember where it was or if there are commercially available.
Thanks!

What would be the purpose? I can't think of any time it would be too diffucult get anything from one end. I'd suggest just making your own, stuff sacks are extremely easy to sew.
HH supplies one with their Super Shelter. I have been using it and it is very convenient to open either end to get only what you want without digging down or totally emptying the sack. Seems that with a regular sack, what I want is always at the bottom.
I think making a double ended stuff sack would be easier than a regular stuff sack. You don't have the tricky end seams to sew. Just sew down the middle, sew the cord tubes on both ends and seal. Seams that it would be much easier.
What for? Run one hammock line through it, then stuff my hammock with Pea Pod attached. It could be snugged over the end of the Pea Pod to pull up the insulation or to shield it from driving rain. With 2 ends it could be shiffted over the Pea Pod to the other end, again, as a rain sheild.
I'm finding double ended sacks pretty useful. It's easier than dumping everything out when needed stuff is on the bottom.
Do make your own? If not, where do you get them?
Thanks,
Steve
Make them. Several weeks ago I snapped to the idea after I got tired of dumping my clothing bag a couple of times in short order to get to things that each time had ended up on the bottom. Next came the food bag – which I make with spindrift collars.
Double ended sacks are easier to make than single ended sacks. For a simple drawstring collar, I just make a tube the right diameter and length, fold a casing over on each end, stitch them down, install drawstrings and it's done. For spindrift collars, just make the tube 12 inches longer and make each drawstring casings 6 inches from each end. To make the casings, just turn the tube inside out for 7 inches and stitch around the fold. I don't do anything complicated for the drawstring holes, just cut two slits and overlap the drawstring between the slits, put a cord lock on and it's done.
Thanks, I'll give it atry.
