What happens if you fold up a polypropylene tarp when it's still
slightly wet?

And then you store it for a couple years?

If there is any dead or dying leaf or any algae, does that turn into
alcohol?

If it were hotter or I'd started earlier, it might have dried by now,
but at the rate it's going, it won't be dry until Sunday afternoon.

You can't wait until tomorrow, can't wipe it down with a rag? Is it
Rot and Mildew Resistant?

It will just get moldy and maybe smell bad.
You have a better chance of it drying if you just loosely ball it up
than to neatly folding it. Pick it up, shake it out and ball it up
again tomorrow. In a couple of days it will be dry enough to fold and
store.
That is based on living here in the swamp. In drier places, it will
not take that much.

The top of the railing for my deck is almost 10' off of the ground. It's great for hanging tarps
and tents. I can hose them off and let them drip dry.

There's a nearby tree, so for my tents I use a couple of ropes and spread them open to eliminate
the folds, etc.

Not many
If you are in a HOA community they are "illegal" and I bet some "up
tight" communities ban them too.

I think the last time I was camping was on a Boy Scout camping trip when I was 13 or 14. It was hysterically funny. ^_^

I really wouldn't want to live around a bunch of hos who couldn't keep their nose out of my business and eyes off my backyard. I wish I could live out in the sticks again where my nearest neighbor was at the end of our 1/4 mile long driveway. I miss the days when I could have a disassembled car or tractor in the front of the house and no one could say a word about it, except Mom. ^_^

Did the scoutmaster also find it funny?

Hmm. I didn't think so....

This was back when boys were boys and not expected to act like girls. I don't believe our Scoutmaster was Gay either. We were "BOY" Scouts back then. ^_^

Where men are men, and sheep are nervous? Naah,
scouts are generally very honorable. It's the
media that gives em a bad name. Not like they
are Catholic Priests or some thing.

As much as I was tortured at the Catholic Parochial Gulag, I never saw or experienced anything of a sexual nature except to be told I would burn in Hell if I played with my winkey. I think the sex scandal was another exaggeration and manufactured outrage by the anti religion crowd. I do believe there was sexual misconduct by some priests but it also happens in all other faiths. It's a given in Islam and ignored by our present Executive Branch. o_O

In New York men are men, women are too and sheep are restless.

"Generally" is a good term to use because there are certainly exceptions.

50+ years ago a senior member of our troop (a scout that was on Staff, not an adult leader) was
quietly asked to leave the scouts after it was discovered that he was fondling some of the
younger scouts on camp outs. He was using his senior status to attract the younger ones by
promising them "membership" in a special club that would give them extra privileges.

I think that speaks a lot. Since you can remember
one incident in fifty years of scouting, there are
few such incidents. I'm not involved with scouting
(well, not in the thirty years since I was a failed
Boy Scout).

In all those years I know of zero cases of sexual
abuse of anyone; leader or scout.

No... No. Not in this case. That's sort of implied by the
question.

Is it
Rot and Mildew Resistant?

Isn't all polypropylene resistant to rot and mildew?
