I don't feel like paying $20 for a canvas bag.

 

It's not just a bag, it's a series of tubes :grlaf:

 

The price might not bother you after

1) your screws clink together in your homemade bag, dulling the threads

2) your screws puncture everything else in your backpack

I have heard people use some type of material that wrap around each ice screws. Just wondering what everyone is using.

 

Just save/reuse the mesh thread covers that come w/ each screw - if desired toss in a cheapo bag.

Rubber tubing. I forget the diameter, could check when I get home. Hell, it might even be some type of cut up bike tire.

 

Edit: Make sure to take the tubing off and let the screws sit for a bit, because water will be stuck against the screw if you throw them in the tube wet, then let it sit in your closet for a couple weeks.
