I just picked up a pair of these, and no where in the instructions does it say anything about short term storage in the field. Should I fold each skin in half adhesion side in, or should I join each skin adhesion side in?

best option are skin savers - basically a nylon mesh half the length of the skin. You fold the skin in half with the mesh in between - they still stick together and are easy to pack away but are also easier to pull apart again and it supposedly saves the adhesive

By "short term storage," I assume you mean something like in the car on the way to the trailhead, and in your jacket or pack on the descent. For those situations, I fold and join each skin individually, in half, glue side to glue side. Joining two full-length skins together cleanly is very tricky, especially if it's windy or snow is blowing around. It's usually not worth the effort.
