How long does it take you to take down camp on a long kayak trip? What do you 
do to speed it up if you have to get off the beach fast?

I was on a two week self-contained kayak trip this summer.  We were moving 
camp every day if weather allowed. But for the most part we took our time, 
had a hot breakfast, and were on the water by 0930 or 1000. One morning the 
two of us needed to get on the water early. We were up at 4 AM, had a cooled 
breakfast, broke down the traps, loaded up and paddled away at 6 am. So it 
turned out that even when we where trying it still took 2 hours!
