Stuffing Sil nylon?

[Holger]

Can I stuff my sil nylon tarp into a small bag, or do I need to roll and fold it up?

Thanks

Stuff away!

Stuffing is fine. Many people use "tarp sleeves" or "snake skins" for their tarps for ease of deployment.

Thanks- that is the answer I hoped to hear!

I'm chiming in a little late here, but I just read that stuffing is better because, if you fold, you end up folding in the same place over and over which eventually damages the fabric. YAY!

Stuff it!
Stuffing is better in my opinion. Folding repeatedly on the same areas will stress those areas and potentially cause wear or permanent creases.
Stuffing or using a tube-type containment system is random.

Thanks everybody.
Packed my tarp in a 2l Sea to Summit drybag, small and compact.
I always pack my tarp extra (first thing i need, last thing to pack ) and in a drybag.
That way everything else stay's dry if i have to pack the tarp wet.

Stuff it or snake skin it. Keep it in/on your pack where you can get it up first. That's the ticket! No folding of the gear.
