Chapter Nine:

Making & breaking camp

The idea is to get the work part of camping done and over with as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Ignore those in your party who are muttering Anal retentive! Control freak! Give yourself time in the light and warmth of day to fumble around with everything. Setting up camp should take less than an hour (max!) but on your first trips allow for a learning curve.

Find a flat spot at least 100 feet from the stream or lake. A little slope is OK.

Spread a ground cover (which should be packed on top) and lay out your stuff. This way you can see what’s what. There’s the tent sack, there’s the kitchen sack, there’s the food sack, there’s the flashlight, there’s the garbage sack, and so on.
