Packing the vehicle before a camping trip is a bit of a science. Because we’re ‘tenters’ we don’t have the luxury of hitching our weekend behind our van, we have to squeeze it all in. It might seem simple but you always have to be conscious of what needs to come out first because, logically enough, it gets packed last. Trust me, there have been times where we’ve had to dig through sleeping bags and pillows for the tent.
Family camping is not exactly roughing it, so there is a fair amount of extra ‘stuff’ that makes the trek out with us. Like pioneers packing up the wagon, we prepare to venture out and stake our claim… for two days. I think the total time it takes us to pack and unpack for the weekend is almost greater than the amount of time camping… but you know what? It’s totally worth it.
