Hi Trevor. I only take what I need with. I have removed all extras out of my bags(one for pegs, one for ropes etc etc). I have also marked the ropes I use with the same coloured tape I use for my poles so we never have the problem of which goes where either. I usually also do a one rope plat which make the storing of ropes very neat and easy.

If you need to, take another bag with for the extra ropesand mark it as such so you dont get mixed up. I have a 30m roll of rope, extra eyelets and other goodies in a bag that always goes with, so if needs be I make up a length or two of rope as required.

Always only take what I need. Got one bag for the Rally so all I need to setup the rally is in there even a extra rubber malet.

Another bag for the main tent.  Same story. If i use both during a long trip both bags go along.

Easiest way to get it sorted for me.

Myne bind ek elkeen met "velgo" en is in 'n plastiek krat.

Ek sit my toue in "reseal" plastiek sakkies, een in 'n sakkie, en gebruik die dubbel anker toue op die twee hoek pale, en enkel tou vir die middel paal.  Die kant dakkies oor die vensters het ook elk twee enkel kort toue, en gaan ook in so sakkie elk.

Elke sakkie is gemerk met "permanent marker" waar dat gaan, soos Fred, het ek ook 'n ekstra tou vir die wis en onwis.

Al my toue gaan dan saam in 'n plastiek boks wat dit skoon en bymekaar hou.

Hi Trevor. I firmly beleive that you need as much roping as possible. 

I normally keep a small plastic bag stocked with eye lids and a another small bag with a 30 meter rope in my nose box. I can cut the rope to what ever size I need.

Two years back right on beach front the wind tested my camp. If it was not for that extra rope then I was in serious trouble. I dit not camp with any storm nets or devices to secure a tent but with my extra rope I was ok

Enjoy your camping, best of luck

Vir jare al is die gesukkel met deurmekaar gekoekte tent toue iets van die verlede. Maak die een punt van die tou deur die gaatjie in die tent vas, die toue word saam met die tent opgevou. Geen gesukkel met die opslaan slag om te wonder watter tou kom waar nie.
