I've got some tents that I use with car camping and a lightweight backpacking tent that I can never get back into the original stuff sack they came in. It's like trying to put the genie back in the bottle. No can do.
Any suggestions where I can buy inexpensive, large-sized stuff sacks? It would be great if they're lightweight too but that may not be possible.
I looked around after my sleeping bag stuff sack ripped.
I couldn't find any that weren't outrageoussly expensive…
However, it took less than 10 minutes to sew my own :)
This also allowed me to make them match the size of my pack.
Cut a square bottom that matches the width and depth of your pack + 2" in each dimension.
Cut a tube piece that is as tall as you want the sides to be + 2", and as wide as the circumference of the bottom plus 1".
Fold over the edge of a side and stitch up a channel for a drawstring.
Stitch up the adjacent edge of the side to form a tube.
Stitch on the bottom, with the bag inside out.
Cut a slit for a drawstring, and thread a drawstring through the channel.
Singe all the exposed cut edges wih a lighter to prevent fraying.
Note: the stuff sack is 2" bigger than the width and depth of the pack so that it can squish to fill up any empty spaces where the packs sides are not straight. If you pack is curvy, add another 2-3".
