    How to dry Hammock Gear cuben fiber sleeves

    Went out last weekend when it rained. I packed away the tarp when it was wet and then hung it out to dry when I got back home. The tarp is now dry, but I've been unable to get the water out from inside the sleeves. I took off the sleeve and have had it air drying for a few hours but still there are some water dropplets inside. How do you all dry out the inside of your sleeves?

    ∆ this is what I did. Worked like a charm. One time when I was lazy I put the hose on my shop vac on the back side (blow) and taped the nozzle to the skinny end of the cuben sleeve. Turned it on, went inside, had a sandwich and a beer, came back out, done.

    After coming home with wet gear I set mine up in the basement. If it is real wet I will run a dehumidifier overnight and usually everything is nice and dry the next morning. You could also hold them up in front of a fan to move air through them to get the moisture out.
