  • Tent stake bag from pant leg.

    Not my idea, but I made it. I needed a new tent stake bag since I upgraded the stakes for my Kodiak Canvas tent. I saw this on another forum, so I made my own. I have some carhartt pants that have shrunk, and I no longer wear. So I cut the pant leg off, sewed the end shut (triple stitched) and made a draw string from paracord. Now we will see how long it holds up. I will probably make another bag for foraging stuff in the woods, fatwood, berries etch.

    That is a good idea. I am old enough to remember when we routinely made purses from old jeans back in the 1970's. This works well for any oddly shaped lightweight item. I made jeans leg bags for folding music stands when my kids were in band.

      We did this back in the 60s when I was in Scouts. This was back when households had a sewing machine and someone who could use it. I've been keeping an eye out for simple, heavy duty bags that can be used for tent stakes as well. Maybe it's time to remind myself how to work the sewing machine.

        When I need a fabric item (rarely) old, religious, jeans are one of the first places that I look for material...


        I think the last thing was a pocket for storing/carrying a fold up backpacking stove... used fabric adhesive on that one...


        Enjoy!

        Ground tents work best for me, so far.
        Experience along with properly set up 4WD will get you to & through places (on existing, approved 4WD trails) that 4WD, alone, can't get to.
