    Stuff sack size for my tarp

    Im looking to add snake skins to my tarp, but not sure what size stuff sack to upgrade to that will fit my entire system? I have a 12 foot Toxaway and right now I need to roll my tarp up with the stuff sack that came with it. Any suggestions from you pros? Semper Fi

    You might want to consider the possibility of two stuff sacks- one for the hammock+suspension, the other for your tarp.
    I find that my tarp is usually damp/wet from dew, even in 'good' weather.
    Another possibility would be a DIY divided stuff sack like the one Exped provided with the Mira tents - half waterproof, half breathable panel.

    I have a stuff sack for the hammock and suspension, but the stuff sack for my tarp seems just big enough for the tarp. I was thinking of getting a double ended stuff sack for the tarp with skins, just not sure the size roughly to get. I know you can't have enough stuff sack, but would like to hit it like a sniper (one shot one kill). Thank you for the advice as well.

    Put the tarp in a pillowcase/grocery bag/etc. Compress it to the stuffed size and form it into a rough cylinder. Measure it and calculate volume. Use this to the deisgn the stuff sack. I'd err slightly larger.
