    I always like my stuff sacks a bit small, space in my bags is critical if I can shrink any gear down just a bit it adds up

    Personally I use very few stuff sacks, of all the gear I do use the stuff sacks they have are plenty big enough.

    I find the biggest culprits for small stuff sacks to be jackets and sleeping bags.

    It was a sad day indeed, when I retired my Black Bishop Bags.

    They were the best

    I do feel your pain. I recall my very first hammock.. a HH Ultra Lite Asym. I returned it the day after its' first use and didn't even try to get it back in the stuff sacks. that would have be futile.

    Now I ditch the stuff sacks altogether. Problem solved.

    I carry two.. one for my ditty bag and one for my tarp. Both are oversized for how I am using them.
    Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

    To each their own, but I find that a larger sack that squishes will take up less room as it forms around other gear and squished bags. Imagine looking through your pack as if it had a clear side and seeing several stacked circles (ends of fully stuffed sacks), with space in between the circles because they are so stuffed that they retain their circular shape... that same volume as contained in the circles would be lower in height if that volume could be all squished together. Lower in height = more room in the pack. Doesn't mean you have to use all the room in the pack, but I like a pack that's not bursting at the seams holding all the gear.
