Different campers have different opinions about the method of breaking camp. Plenty will tell you that it's a nightmare and that it's time consuming while others will speedily say that it is a straightforward part of the camping process. I am able to tell you that the most important difference between these two groups of people is that one group has a plan when it comes to breaking camp and the other does not.
Having a plan and properly delegated jobs is the key to packing up camp smoothly. There isn't any precise order that everything should be finished in but it's important that each item is packed and everything is left clean and clear as it was before. Planning the correct way to break camp should be done the evening before the last day and the actual packing should be based primarily on your events for the day. As an example, if you'll have a meal before you drive away, then you can plan on packing up your camping cooking supplies last.
As with any vacation or trip, you should generally leave your personal cleanliness items, clothes, and trash bags out till the last minutes. Before you hop into the family automobile, you might want to clean your teeth again, put lotion on your hands or deodorant under your arm. If you end up having a difficult time breaking camp and start to sweat, you can at least refresh up before you get into your vehicle. Everybody will appreciate that! You will be cleaning till the end so be sure that you keep your trash bag out and in a spot where everyone will have easy accessibility to it.
You need to also ensure that all your camping gear is dry and clean before packing it up. If you have any wet dishes, sleeping bags, or if your tent got wet, it is really important that you plan to put aside time for them to hang and air dry. Try to get the tent bottom and stakes and clean as feasible before packing. Any gear that's packed damp should right away be removed and let out to dry once you reach your final destination.
Anyone can pack up camp successfully following these tips. Be certain to take a little time after you think you are done to do a last check around camp. Please take the time to look for little items that could be concealed under the grass or loose soil. Also, be absolutely certain that you leave your campsite clean as a courtesy to the small critters that live in the area.
