If you have the dollars to purchase those expensive dry sacks from Sea-to-Summit (ultra-sil, ripstop, hypalon, etc.), don't throw away the long plastic containers they're packaged in. The little ones, 8 liters and less, can be used to store tarp/tent pegs. The larger ones can be used to store and protect tent poles, collapsible umbrellas, and other long stuff that could get bent (I know what you're thinking - stop it). The plastic is solid and durable, and they can protect the other stuff in your pack from getting punctured.
You can buy the dry sacks at REI, Moosejaw, Backcountry, Mountain Gear, etc. I figure you're getting two good products for one price. Maybe that's why the damn things are so expensive. So don't chuck the packages into the recycle bin - use them!
