Good tips. Another one I remember is to look at how th ground slope before setting up your tent. You may wake up to a stream running through your tent! Won't do that again!

#1 tip - use a hammock. More room under the tarp to cook, stretch-out, stand. Can use your backpacking chair or sit in the hammock instead of sitting on the ground. Con: if your water breaks fail or if you forget to do water breaks, you will get wet in a hammock.

Get an XMid Pro 2 (solves problem 2 and helps with #4) ... room for your pack inside and large vestibules for cooking without opening your doors! Recommend the Windburner stove so you don't have any exposed flame near your tent. I've got to remember extra treats for bribing! 😄 No matter the weather or temps - bathroom time is always outside!

Metro cracks me up!! Another tip would be concerning setting up before the rain...and that is to make sure that your ground sheet isn't sticking out past your rainfly. As you know, we like to hammock and use rainflies. We also like to use a smaller tarp as a ground sheet underneath our hammock so that we track less dirt and grit into our hammock, On our last trip, it rained overnight and Josh was hanging lower to the ground, but had left a small part of his ground sheet out from under his rainfly. The rain dripped onto the ground sheet, then ran in and puddled right underneath him. Unfortunately, his underquilt was just low enough to start to soak up the water and he woke up the next morning with a soaked rearend!

It's a bit more weight, but maybe bring an extra community tarp (and chair) so you don't have to stay in your tent the whole time. Might be worth it to relieve the numb legs.

great tips crow! the shammie or light load towel is key for sure, esp with single walled tents. I'd throw in customizing the interior of your tent for max comfort. I bought the gear shelf pocket for my GG1 tent so I can get more gear off the floor of the tent. It also acts as a great phone holder so you can go hands free for your show/movie watching experience.
