I just purchased a new backpacking tent (my first), an LL Bean Lightstuff 2. I have a couple of questions. Do you roll it and the fly prior to putting it into the stuff sack or stuff it? Folding and rolling seem likely to wear permanent creases into the fabric. How about storage (like over the winter). Should I keep it in the stuff sack or give it more room? Do you always use a footprint when setting up? A couple of weeks ago, we climed Mt. Liberty and set up at the Liberty Spring tent site. How do you deal with staking out the fly on a wooden platform? Finally, how about compression stuff sacks for it when hiking? The stuff sacks they all come with seem a little large for the pack.
