Does this tent come in a compression sack? If so does it compress the sack length wise (like a sleeping bag compression sack) or just squeeze it together in with the poles? See picture below.

The sacks compression straps make the package as skinny as possible. The length of the sack is only as long as the folded-up poles themselves, so the length of the sack is as short as it gets.

I have the 2007 version and it just scrunches everything together to make as skinny as possible.
