If you have camped alot, whether it be tent or trailer camping, you know the frustration of trying to get everything packed to go.
For new campers, this can become a real heartache. It is Friday night and you can't wait until work finishes so you can go home and get the family and get going. Then you have to pack.
A couple points to make the job a little easier.
1. if you must use the trunk in the car, it will be hard to pack all your gear, food, suppliers and recreational things
- if you can try to build a little pull behind trailer so you can carry more
2. pack the big things first and then try to put the little things in between
3. pack inside as many items as possible
- for example, if you need to take a long an extra cooler, fill it up with belongings so the space is not wasted
4. use duffle bags instead of suitcases for clothing
- clothing bags will conform to the available shape while suitcases are unbending
5. pack in the daylight hours
