I guess it was inevitable that the urge to organize all the things would spread to my car, too. We just keep trekking poles and headlamps and traction spikes in there all the time since I like to drive up the canyon. But now I see everything rattling around in the back hatch and it MUST BE CONTAINED. Good thing I can sew!
I pulled outdoor fabrics to make a stuff sack for trekking poles (using the LearnMYOG stuff sack generator), zip pouches for headlamps (using the zip pouch generator, ibid), and even foam padded traction spike cases and yes, I DO have leftover foam to use for the padding. I even have all the webbing and zippers and paracord! Am I acting like this dad? MAYBE.
