I’m was never good at wrapping presents. I’m also not great at perfectly folding the front and back of the tarp. To me they remind me of present wrapping and that’s very traumatic to me.

Get a good head or cross wind going. Sometimes the bungies start falling apart resulting in the tarp flapping in the wind like a lot lizzard sky diving without any panties on.

Flapping meaning part of the tarp isnt secured so its flapping in the wind like a parachute...coneatoga looks nice but id rather tarp it looks better imopavrom said: ↑I would like to learn if I can read somewhere ...I'm one of those guys who just bought the truck and trailer

Oh I know that feeling. Had to roll them up on an iced over dirt road when it was about 0*F. Shuffling along trying to make nice folds. Was all I could do to not just leave them behind since I need new ones anyway.Snakeschasingcars said: ↑Or trying to roll a tarp up when it ts -10 out... Lol yeah funtimes.Click to expand...
