    How do you store your tarps?

    Do you leave them stuffed? Any concerns about that causing wear? Is storage different for different tarp materials?

    Sorry if these are silly questions. My camping was done under the old canvas tarps!

    I leave mine stuffed. Probably should take them out but it hasn't caused any issues yet.

    I just make sure that they are completely dry, and then store them stuffed in the stuffsacks.

    Cheers

    I make sure that it's dry, like a day open in the back of my jeep at work in the parking lot. Then I store them in my tarp storage sleeves I bought from Kat.
