Second post - what really works for us is a "bag of bags", when you empty things, all the bags go into this so that all bags are in one place. We used to spend aaaggggeeeessss wandering round looking for sleeping bag stuff sacks, SIM bags etc. Now all the "bedroom bags" go inside one of the bedroom bags and that goes into the main tent bag with all the other bags so there is only one place to look for bags.

We do that and like you say it saves a lot of time looking for bags.

              I HATE PACKING AWAY

---

 

I hear you !!!  HATE IT...mind you thats because it's back to normality there after.

i've always done a "bring everyting type of camp"(glamping) ie:microwave,tv,a couple of heaters,a miniture oven and so on,it takes me a good 3-4 hours to set up,and for some reason when im going home it seems to take all day to pack up everything,i ached from head to foot after my last camp so this time im going to try light,just the basics ie;tent,sleeping bag,single ring burner and a small camp bed (instead of my queensize deluxe blow up bed) oh and i bought a smaller tent and a smaller chair,just got to see how i get on with it now.im hopeing i wont ache as much and hope to slice my setting up and taking down time.

well i had a trial run today of the "new,smaller set up" and guess what.....45 minutes to set up everything (including the new tent) and 45 minutes to pack it all away again.  RESULT!!!
