Yes to all

I fold it, then roll it up and then stuff it.

But, it got me wondering...I stuff my tent, literally, into it's sack. The
reason I do this is to keep the tent from wearing at the folds, therefore
lengthening the life of the fabric, waterproof coating etc. I also stuff
my sleeping bag.

So, I thought a quick poll would be interesting.

How many fold, roll?

How many stuff?

Remember, we're not talking about burittos or joints ;-)
