    Can't be too hard. I use @baha method

    • Stand the rolled tarp on end
    • Bend as if you're proposing marriage, with the roll standing in front of your vertical left thigh, and your right thigh horizontal.
    • Fold the roll over on to your thigh, then up over a shoulder as you stand.
    Little practice beforehand might be good. Good luck!

    I keep saying i'm too old and decrepit to fool with tarps which is why I don't want to get into flat bedding, but all the flat bedders a shoot the breeze with are like, " dude you'd have no problem. " Maybe i'll try it someday.
