Next week I leave on a solo coming of age adventure. I will turn 50 on the 29th and have decided to spend the last 4 days of my first half century camping in the back woods of Yellowstone National Park. This evening I practiced setting up my tent, shown here without the rain fly, in our bedroom. The first time it took me five minutes, the second was down to four minutes. With a little more practice I think I can hit three minutes (valuable if you are pitching in driving rain or snow).
