Steve Ringlee is sophisticated. He lives in Iowa. He strongly recommends Carbag for auto storage. Looks good.

But my spending on hobbies is out of control. And carbag is about $240, apparently.

And I am a rube from Minnesota.

So I conclude that an economical alternative for storage may be a silage bag or silage tube. I am sure that you have seen such long tubes at the sides of the fields or near barns. Plenty stout. Available in 8,9,10-foot diameters, lengths of 100 or 200 feet or so. About $2/foot.

(Drive car in bag, seal one end, partially seal other end, suck out flop with ShopVac, finish sealing.)

Does anyone else in the Twin Cities/Minneapolis/St. Paul want to get a roll with me? If I knew a dairy farmer I would try to score a cut 25-foot length for tests, but I know only grain farmers in SW Minnesota.

Thanks for listening.
