    Long term storage of BB

    I doubt that I will make it out camping again until spring or if I do it will only be once or twice.

    Will the BB be alright in its stuff sack or should I take it out and hang it somewhere?

    I take my hammocks out from time to time just to look at them. However, I doubt long term storage would do any damage.
    Trust nobody!

    I always make sure my hammocks are clean and dry before putting them away, but I leave them stuffed. No issues so far.

    Like any other sort of gear storage, just make sure it's clean, dry, and not too compressed or tightly folded/rolled.

    I baby my down gear, it's fully lofted in the cupboard. But I can't see any issues to tightly stuffing a piece of nylon.
