Charts
Another thing the OP may want to try is to scan local sections of the chart into a computer, and then print out ones most frequently used. If the scan is saved as a bitmap or JPEG, it can also be modified when chart data amendments are published.
I don't know about the USA, but in the UK, there are amendments every few months which include changes to published aerodrome frequencies, airspace boundaries, ATZ’s that come and go, even aerodromes that come and go, and aerodromes that move up down or sideways (as my home base has).
I can then easily print out a new version of the local charts that is up-to-date.
In my cramped glider cockpit , separate pieces of paper are much easier to manage than the very large laminated half million chart of southern England.
