i keep the groundsheet in a separate bag

everything else get it folded into a rectangular shape the same width as the bag

throw all the guy ropes, buckles etc into the centre, then just roll it is tightly as possible

thanks for the tips, just hope it stays dry so we can get it packed away

We leave the groundsheet attached... Then we fold until we've got the perfect width to fit in the bag and then roll up very tightly... That leaves on big heavy bag, and one very light one containing just the poles... We all find our own way that's easiest...

We leave the groundsheet attached but take out the inners. Leave the front door open about 30cms, otherwise its very difficult to put up next time.

Then fold one third over widthwise and then the other third over the first. This leaves you with the perfect width for the tent bag. Then fold in half and half again lenghtwise, then roll up to form a perfect package for the bag. Stand the rolled up tent on its end and feed the bag over it.

Wife and I can now put the BL6 up in about 30minutes flat and pack it away in the same time!

Another trick is to use two roof rack straps secured around the rolled up tent to hold it tight, this makes placing it in the bag nice and easy!
