My old way of packing a tent was a total mess...

I used to just stuff my old 4-person dome into its bag any which way, which always took forever at the campsite. After a rainy trip to the White Mountains last fall, I watched a friend roll theirs tight and it clicked. Now I fold and roll my new Marmot Tungsten 3P the same way every time, and it takes me under two minutes to set up. Anyone have a different method that works for them?

Wait, you're telling me there's a method besides just shoving it in the bag and sitting on it until the zipper closes? I used to wrestle with my old tent like it owed me money, lmao. Rolling it tight was a total game changer for me too, though I still sometimes end up with a weird lump that makes the bag look pregnant.

Oh man, I feel that... my old tent was a total nightmare to pack up too. @tessa_kelly, the sitting on the bag thing is way too real, haha. Rolling it tight changed everything for me, though I still get those weird lumps sometimes.
