it's a slug, i really dig it
I only only use one stuff sack, my food sack. Everything else I just stuff in my pack, except tarp which is in mesh skins that then get stuffed in outer pocket. Doesn't really matter, whatever works for ya.
Just stuff it all. When ground camping I do roll my BA pad.
I use the bishop style stuff sacks for my hammock
Stuff sack that came with my UQ
Skins for tarps
The Lazy Slug Tube looks like a cool option that I want to try out....
I stuff my gear whenever possible

One of my tents needs to be folded and rolled to get it small enough but since I rarely use it any more, stuff is the answer
My hammock can only be stuffed. I was folding and rolling my tarp until I found out that can damage it, I stuff it now. I'm gonna be working on a IX UQ soon and that has to be folded, rolled, stuffed, and compresed from what I've read. My cheap Coleman sleeping bag that I use for a TQ gets stuff here at home, but when I pack it up to go hang I have to roll it to get the size down some to make room. I don't have a real pack yet either, but then I can't do any hiking yet so it dosen't really matter. When I drop this extra person worth of excess weight, I'm gonna need me a serious pack. Until then I guess my 1500 lb. pack is effectivly stuffed.

Anything else cost far too much.
I appreciate all the responses, from curt to detailed, it's all relevant and all helpful and informative. For the record my setup goes fairly standard:
Stuff't:
Sleeping Bag usually in its own sack, sometimes in a compression.
Tarp & Hammock together in Hennessy's own sack.
Folded:
Clothes (don't ask me why, it feels right, and I carry too many) in their own dry sack.
Big Agnes Air Core Pad - Needs to be flattened, folded and squeezed to drain all the air out to fit back in its own bag... very annoying.
Therma-rest pillow - kinda rolled up into its own built in pocket, not stuffable.
I'm still waiting for someone to post specs on that giant slug / snakeskin!
