I think that the hardest thing about camping is coming home!

Seriously though I get very stressed putting the tent up and taking it down as we have to leave the boys in the car while we do it at the mo, and I get all worried if they are upset, plus we wrecked our last tent by not putting it away properly

going back to reality and the real world is the hardest thing, love my camping trips

I thought this thread was like that roller blading joke:

Q- What's the hardest thing about roller blading?

A- Telling your parents you're gay!

Sorry  , back to the topic.

Putting away a wet tent is purgatory when your 'garage' is 3m square. Nothing else really bothers me.

A lot of campers worry about making sure they bring everything along they need or simply how will they get it all in the car. Finding the right site may be another worry. Then there is putting the tent up and if they will be able to remember how to do it. None of these things I find a great problem.

However the biggest challenge I always have is trying to get the tent back into the bag when packing up. When havving recently bought a new tent I decided to really pay attention to how it was packed but still have difficulty getting it folded samll enough to fit back in. Perhaps its my own fault for having a large heavy cotton tent. Perhaps fellow campers are able to offer some tips on the best way to pack a large tent and more importantly how to remember each time the way to pack it.

The hardest part is right now, sitting in the office, looking at the great weather, remembering past trips and wishing I was out there again
