And I thought it was just me. Most of the time it takes me two hours to break
camp. 


the main factor for me is the tide. the tidal flats here in southeast Alaska
can be huge. The joke is you crawl out of your tent and get the binoculars out
to find where the water . So on those mornings you hustle to make it in two
hours because you spend so much time walking back and forth to the boat (not
to mention having to constantly move the boat!)


Push come to shove I can break camp in an hour if the tide is up, I eat a
simple breakfast, and prepack what I can the night before. if the tide is low
the pre packing doesn't help so I plan to get up two hour before I want to
leave.
