How does one store this when not in use and being that it is realistic? I read here it is heavy as well.

Hi Johnny, Store this in a cool dry place and use corn starch or the Cyberskin Renew powder. Do not store this next to other toys or materials like plastics, or similar materials. Lightly wrap it in a soft cloth, dye free is recommended (white) and as far as the where... top of your closet, a large dresser drawer or even a wooden chest etc. Kitchen table not recommended as it might clash with your decor.

you would have to semi disassemble it to store it. It is a great product though!

It is not light. I would not want to take it on a hike or anything but I store it inside and up a flight of stairs and do not find it difficult to transport that far. It is sturdy and that comes from the weight of the metal. I would not want it to be lighter. It folds down to a nice size and comes with a bag it fits in. It remains as long as the bottom support. That does not have a joint in it. The two bottom supports come together and the two side supports fold down on to it. I really like this product as I live in an apartment and do not have a lot of room on my patio. I feel secure on it. I would take it camping in a heart beat but again I would not want to walk far with it. It is not light.

It is pretty thick. I would think if you stored it in one of those vacuum/space bags it would be easier to store.

I have been storing it that way without problem. Note, the inner bag is resealable and I also added a baggie around that.

That should not be a problem at all - I have not stored mine that way, but I did read in some of the reviews that others have and have not had a problem! I love this scale.

There is no need to store unless there is a prolonged period of non-use. I put deflated slide over my fence to get it dry and off the ground and used it several days in a row

It stores well. I keep mine bundled under my pack where a tent or sleeping bag could go. That said, if I were to do it over again I would get an inflatable mat because I sleep most often on my side, and this mat provides nearly no support for that. May as well be sleeping on the ground, it is just an insulator.

I sometimes store it on its edge up against a wall and between the deck rail and the wall. This only partly works for me, as the part that isn't wedged tends to bend. So I would say if you have a well supported place for it to be, that you could store it on its edge, but it should be supported in at least 2 places, or more.

well, i don't know if you could store it folded up. but maybe laid out flat? it's really comfy. like a real bed.

Because it's so heavy when full I do not put it on a stand. Make something out of metal or stone for it to sit on

I would not recommend storing it vertically. This scale is very accurate and it even states in the little manual that come with it that you should not move the scale around. It is a larger unit and it calibrates itself once you place it on the floor to use it.

Don't know about storing on side. Mine is on a small dolley. Takes up less room this way and is easy to move.

It's heavy! This will be relegated to base camping. I'm going to hang my food instead of using this for backpacking.

It's heavy. I wouldn't recommend using it unless you're a professional and you have a way to transport it.

I looked in the manual for an answer to this question and could not really find one. It talked about how to store a weight taken when you can not see the screen due to the size of the item being weighed.

just blow it off with compressed air, theres seals underneath to keep foreign objects out. However Ive had mine in the deserts of Peru being absolutely abused to years with no, absolutely NO maintenance, and the thing just keeps going like the little train that could ! ! ! ! An excellent investment for harsh environs.
