I've got an HG DCF 12' tarp that I store in a single mesh snakeskin. When you roll it up you have a sort of round, irregularly shaped snake to stow away. Particularly when I put it away wet, I'd like to put it in the front mesh pocket of my pack, but it packs really irregularly, taking up a lot of space that I would like to reserve for other items (rain gear, etc) for easy access. You can still force the items in around the folds of the 'snake', but it's disorganized.
Anyone have a solution for storing this more efficiently? I could stuff the thing into a stuff sack, or perhaps tie it up with some shock cordage so it's more compact. I'm carefully rolling the DCF into the snakeskin and I want to be careful not to stress the DCF and shorten it's lifespan by how I carry it for an anticipated thru hike next spring.
thanks
