Is pitching time that important?  There's no better sight than a tent well pitched with no sags, lines or creases. And it's time well spent if after a fortnight, with the UK's variable weather that you have been warm and dry with no diasters such as tent collapsing.

I agree, as long as it is up properly it doesn't matter how long it takes. As you get more expereinced putting tent up, you get quicker anyway.

Pitching the tent isn't the bit that takes time, it's getting all the rest of the stuff in that's more of a problem!!

I agree, we`ve got more stuff in our tent than we have in our house!

Nothing beats the feeling when it`s all done and you sit down with a nice cold beer though hey?!

It's important if it's getting late and I'm hungry, that is why I bought a second tent that pitches quicker for when I go away late on a Friday night and want to pitch quickly.

I pitch the tent, peg the guys, lug about half the house into the tent, open the cool box, have a beer, have another beer, check the tension on the guys, have a beer then spend the rest of my time checking the guys !!!!!!!

I dont have OCD, just a compulsion to check !!!!!!!
