Stuff it in the kitty liter buckets. One of the things you don't really want to do is to always fold the tent the same way everytime unless you want to have it form creases and the ability to crack/slice quicker than it would otherwise. I always stick the tent on the bottom of the kitty liter bucket and put something on top of it that is in a plastic ziplock bag and that keeps everything else high and dry and clean. It doesn't get stuff the same way everytime which helps to avoid the creasing problem. Granted this past summer, on a 75 day long trip, I probably only used the tent 10-12 nights...most of the time it stayed in the kitty liter buckets day and night.
