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.
