    Is Dutch's double end stuff sack big enough for HH Hex tarp?

    I can see that it would be much easier than the long cylinder I got from HH. Thanks in advance!

    I would think it would be more than big enough

    It will fit loosely.

    Long cylinder? Are you talking about snakeskins? If that's what you're talking about, then no, I don't think a double-ended stuff sack would be better than snakeskins. I can't recall reading about anyone using a double-ended stuff sack for a tarp; it's usually used for a hammock.

    Snakeskins are the way to go on a tarp. Roll the tarp up, pull the snakeskins over it. Easy-peasy.

    I use double ended stuff sacks for all my tarps. Makes for a very easy setup and take down on a single over tt ridgeline with prussics. They take up less packing space than snakeskin too.

    I've used a double-ended stuff sack with a tarp for many backpacking and car-camping trips.

    Yes, I strongly agree with this statement.

    Any chance of making a larger double ended stuff sack out ot waxed canvas for winter use? The sil is a bit difficult to stuff into when it is cold out.

    I didn't get an attack vibe from SS's post, but I did get that vibe from a couple of the responses to it. Just my 2 cents.

    I'm familiar with snake skins and use a pair. Can one of you guys coming to the defense of the 2-sided bag idea explain how the double-ended stuff sack works for tarp stowage? I routinely have the hassle of my hammock spilling out the backside of my double-sided sack when I'm stuffing it in. I'd have imagined the tarp would be even harder to stuff effectively without suffering an exit wound on the backside of the sack since that sack is a tighter fit.

    That said, stuffing my full skins into my one-sided tarp stuff sack often results in this:
