Introduction: Get a Tent Back Into the Bag

This is a fairly common problem with almost anything that comes in a reusable bag (sleeping bag, etc).

I did this Instructable with the smallest tent I own, which I got for free from a friend who lost the poles, and didn't want to have to deal with it (you may recognize it from my first one).

This kids tent is now part of my hiking gear (AKA - Go bag) since it weighs about 2 pounds.

The instructions work the same for this one as my LARGE family tent.

Seriously it's actually just way too big (TWSS). But I was just not wanting to set it up just to prove I could repack it.

Really not rocket science and I think most outdoors types have their own system for accomplishing it.

But this is mine.

Step 1: Measure the Tent and Bag

In this case my bag was right at 20 inches. One of the dimensions of your tent will always be roughly divisible by the length of the bag.

And since 60÷20=3, I know where I need the folds to be. Every 20 inches.

Step 2: Banish the Math
