    Cuben Fiber fold or stuff

    How do you extend the lifespan of Cuben fiber (0.51)? Would you recommend stuffing it into a stuff sack or folding it? Does it matter?

    I roll, then fold, then either stuff it into a big mesh front pocket or strap it to the front, depending on which pack I have.

    I roll and pull snake skins over it, then coil up and cram into pack. I'm using Hennessy snake skins and they are tighter than I like, so I will replace them with ones made of mesh. I stuffed into a stuff sack the first couple times out, and got worried about all the crinkles. When not using it I am leaving it tied up a bit slack in my hammock room.

    By the way, I learned the fold & roll technique from Hawk-eye!
