Skin or stuff??

[Hawk-eye]

Mesh skins ... works great ... Have a mesh bag that all that can fit in for storage ... but just the skins on the trail. Quick to deploy.

just converted to skins.

I have been using both. I still can't decide which I prefer. Skins seem take up more pack space because of how they roll up, but make setup easier. Heading out tomorrow for Idaho and I will be using the stuff sack or just the mesh pocket because of space and pack size. My setup for car camping will have the skins.

Skins....love them. Tarp can be pre-hung but not deployed.
Easier to handle in high winds. Quick to pack.

mesh skins for my tarp and a set of sil skins for my hammock, UQ, TQ and sleep stuff too.

Skins for both tarp and hammock in the back pocket on my ULA Catalyst. What Shug said +3.

Tarp in a sack, skins on the hang. Used scraps to make the skins and they aren't big enough to take both the UQ and TQ in. When I make some new skins for the hammock I'll try the smaller ones on the tarp but it seems like a stuff sack would be smaller and lighter than skins for a tarp. A stuff sack (as opposed to a Bishop Bag) is also 'dual use' whereas skins are what they are.

For cuben, I roll it and furl with 3 bungee nacrabiners, similar to the method Taylo166 describes. It deploys quickly, and it does hold its shape well enough that I can hang it and it stays rolled if I want to leave it that way.

For sil, I use skins.

For my hammock + bottom insulation, I use larger diameter sil skins (well sealed on the long seam) that can either stow in the pack or be tied on the outside, horseshoe style.
