Met a guy at Crater Lake who changed how I pack my tent.

This older guy, Frank, saw me wrestling with my 4-person dome. He just said 'You're fighting the poles, not the fabric.' Showed me a simple fold technique, takes 90 seconds now. Anyone else have a random tip that saved them major setup time?

Always thought the tent bag was just for storage. Learning to roll it around the poles instead of stuffing it changed the whole game for me. That one tip from a ranger saved so much frustration.

Four-person dome in 90 seconds? I'm calling total nonsense on that. My old Coleman takes a solid ten minutes even with the rain fly off. What kind of magic fold makes a tent that small that fast?
