I don't know, call it old school or stubborn but I still fold and roll. And
I cringe everytime I see people stuff. It seems to me that you are putting
a lot more stress on the seams and joints by stuffing and pulling than by
sliding a neat roll into a stuff bag. With rolling I found it a lot easier
to compartmentalize and roll up a wet fly and keep it "neatly" accessible to
pull out to dry during breaks.

Again I am probably old school because I cannot ever see myself with an
internal frame pack either. I know people love them, but old habits are
hard to change.

Happy Holidays to everyone!
