Oh, dear Graham. You sweetie. Have you seen my list(s)?!!!!!!
I have them on my little UB40 thing (hang on USB says OH) and I have a list for :
2-5 people
2-3 nights
4 night and more
Dog list
Where the stuff is
What we might need to buy e.g. food etc

The first 3 up there are 2-3 pages (in 3 columns) and are always highlighted when stuff goes in - and the beauty of a UB..USB is that the list can change (needs or whatever).
I am sorry, but you are talking to the Queen of the List.
(I don't even do housework without a list - you know where you are with a list!)

Fit perfectly in the bag, but what I didn't think of, was that all the Ring & Pins were now firmly trapped bang in the centre of the bagged up tent. There's a slight chance of damage like that, and thanks to advice on here, I changed my method... simply fold the tent in half, so all the Ring & Pins are to one edge, then in half again. As you roll it up, all the Ring & Pins dangle at one edge of the roll. You may have to fiddle with them as you bag it up, but if they do ultimately stab anything in transit/storage, it is just as likely to be the bag rather than the tent.
With the first option, the only thing those pins can stab is tent!!

I guess damage is unlikely, but that second method seems to reduce the risk of damage that little bit further, in theory. It was advice I continued to take heed of.

I have been camping for 40 years and have never thought of this tip.

Fab stuff!
