What about baby power on a fly for long term storage?
Mar 1, 2013 at 9:17 pm #1960353Common house flies? Fishing fly? Tent fly? Yes, you must mean a tent fly.
Should be fine, but I would use talcum powder so there is no odor.

Like the garage, attic, trunk of the car. Baby powder has an odor. Do you want to introduce more possibly interesting smells into the backcountry?
