INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPACKING YOUR
B-STARD 3000
Your
B-STARD 3000
tent
uses an innovative and mysterious technology which makes it 4x harder to repack than it was to put up.
1.
Start by making the mistake of thinking it will be as easy to repack as it was to put up.
2.
Leave it till an hour before check out time.
3.
Take it down and fold it in half.
4.
Realise that's not right and fold it into thirds.
5.
Have an argument in front of the other families about how to repack your tent.
6.
Look up a video on YouTube of a cheerful German person repacking a completely different model of tent.
7.
Gaze covetously at the air tent next door.
8.
Roll the tent into an infinitesimally small sausage while wiping it off as you go.
9.
Marvel at how it is still Somehow three times too big for the bag.
10.
Jam the rest in the car because it's bloody raining now youve taken so
long.
11.
Spend the next two days drying it out at home.
