ViDEO: Double-Ended Stuff Sack or BlackBishop Bag?

[Vanhalo]

Years ago I tried a huge BB bag for everything but too many tangles (UQ suspension and hammock suspension) on the trail. Drove me batty.
I like all stuffed and re-engineered separately.
Anal that way.

At first I had issues with the UQ, suspension, and UQP slipping off the ends but I tied some 1.75mm single braid dyneema around the CL and it has stopped my gear from coming off the ends.

I'll vote for the double ended stuffsack with the condition that the cordlock needs to be strong enough to stay closed.

So, in reality, I prefer the black bishop for it's dedication in staying closed on one end, but love the option to change which end of the hammock it rests on the fly.

A good cordlock, or a slippery half hitch behind the closed end of choice, and I get the best of both worlds.

I use my double ended stuff sack almost the same way you use the bishop bag. I keep one end closed- with just enough of an opening to run my suspension out. I hang that side first, then open the other end and just walk my hammock to the other tree. For tear down, I disconnect the suspension running from the closed side of my stuff sack, then stuff the hammock back in the open side as I walk towards the other end. Once I'm done, I just shove the suspension lines back inside from each end, and done. The hammock never touches the ground.

The Double stuff sacks are just not big enough for me. I like a roomy BB Bag. We all got our groove.

That'll work. I need a roomy BB Bag to be content in the woods.

What would be a good size for a Bishop Bag?

What is the dimensions of the double end?

When I watched this, I thought "why in the world would you use a stuff sack like that?" I too have always used my double stuff sacks just like you used your bishop bag. I thought it was how everyone did it. I never even imagined there was any other way.

Now, whenever I make my double stuff sacks, I cinch down one end, tie the loop closed, cut it and melt it. So, a bishop-ended stuff sack? As far as I can tell, if it's got a hole in either end, it's all semantics.

As usual, great video, thanks!
