Hi Blitz,

I am with Rio, I have stored my Therm-a-rest rolled-up in the supplied bag for at least 15 years, it still works for me.

No one on this site will think you have issues, your normal, just like the rest of us!

Concerning your GF not letting you keep your BOB in bed, that is not a problem, yet. The problem comes after she becomes becomes DW and all of your "cute survival stuff" is re-classified as cr*p and relegated to the storage room in the basement (yes, I too have issues).

Mike
