I;ve used my Icarus about 5 times this year and have now cracked the art of getting it back into the bag, Here's my method;
1. fold one of the long sides into *almost* (about 6in short of being the middle) the middle. (call this side 1)
2, Fold the other side over until it just meets the first side. (side 2)
3. You should now have a narrower oblong that is the same footprint length but only about two thirds the width.
3 Fold the outer edge of side 2 over to meet the outer edge of side 1. this should now roughly equal the width of the pole bag.
4.Squeeze some of the air out and lay the pole bag at the end. Roll it tight around and continue.
5. Lay across the rolled up tent in an undignified pose with your backside (a fat one is optional!) sticking in the air.
6. edge the bag underneath and edge it in.
7. zip bag up and wipe sweat and grass from face before sitting back with a suitably satisfied smug grin on your face.
AND that's how I do it!!
