Re: Storing Items At Night?

I usually camp with my oldest son and wife. I bring a very light silnylon tarp that we use to sit on and organize stuff at camp. It's a nice place to sort out and reload our ziplock bags that we graze out of each day. Once we are ready to go to our tents, we set out the bear cans away from camp and put the tarp over our 3 backpacks to keep off any weather or dew. We sleep in small tents and I don't like to bring the backpacks inside. We just bring our clothing stuff sack, plus bag and pad into the tent. If it is raining we may prop up the silnylon tarp and sit under it on our bear cans if we aren't ready for the tents.
