How to Pack up Your Tent like a Champ!
1.
Take all the poles and pegs out of the
tent while keeping the canvas off the
grass.
This helps keep your tent clean
and grass stain free.
Without standing on
the canvas, fold half of the tent over so
you have a half moon with the
groundsheet facing up.
2.
Let that half of the groundsheet dry out
and you might want to wipe off any mud
or worm casks.
If it’s not a dry day you’ll need to dry the tent out when you get home.
Make sure you get it dry before storing it; you don’t have to set the tent up again, just
hang it on a washing line, over a car or over some chairs.
3.
As you take it down, always have canvas touching canvas and groundsheet touching
groundsheet so that even if the tent is wet you avoid stains.
4.
Once the condensation has dried off, you need to flip the half moon over so the other half
of the groundsheet can also dry out.
We find it’s a good idea to move the tent off its
original spot to avoid putting the condensation back onto the first half.
5.
Once the whole tent is dry, you
now need to fold the half moon
over on itself again and again so
you end up with a strip the width of
the tent bag. The best way to do
this is to put the bag at the top of
the tent and use it as a template to
get the right width.
