I just received a new Tarptent Contrail. I have been using a Virga which I liked. The question is: How do you stuff the Contrail? With the Virga I just jammed it into the stuff sack. The Contrail has two rear struts which stay in place. I tried rolling it around the struts and this works if I lay it out on a smooth surface but in most cases I am trying to stuff the tent in wind and rain while it is draped over my shoulder so that it is not dragging in the dirt. If I try to roll it while I am standing upright I end up with a long cigar shape which is too long and too fat in the middle. How do others stuff this tent?

I thought about removing the rear struts before stuffing but they are kind of a pain to insert. Also I am concerned about the Velcro on the struts. I have visions of this getting full of dirt, leaves, etc.
