anicinabe member Registered: 10/10/11 Posts: 61 Loc: Ohio	I agree with all the advice that was given..My addition is practice putting up your tent in the dark. The best laid plans always get visited by Mr. Murphy lol. and build your habit of everything has its place. That makes breaking camp a piece of cake and you don't lose anything. Just have fun and enjoy
