The stuff sack I purchased from eBay to hold my Jackite pole stand is too small. It's barely long enough but isn't big enough to hold all the pieces. I've never been good about ordering those kinds of things because their capacity is always demarked in liters. I guess I just can't accurately gauge what a 5L or a 10L bag will actually hold. I bought a 10L sack because I envisioned five 2L bottles of soda and thought, "That'll be big enough!". Wrong! Backpacks are rated the same way and that confuses the heck out of me as well. It's painfully obvious that I was never a Boy Scout or have done any camping.
I suppose I could go to the local sporting goods emporium to actually visualize in person before buying. Before I do that, I am going to go through a few of our closets to see if there's anything we already have that I can scavenge. I seem to remember my kids getting nylon sacks with drawstrings for various events when they were little. Maybe I can find something suitable already at home.
The parts are now contained in a reusable grocery store bag with handles. It works, but it looks dorky., and I can't close the top. I'd like something with a drawstring that I can cinch to prevent pieces from unintentionally tumbling out in the back of the Jeep.
