Remember to take the right tent poles.

New favourite - when arriving tired at a campsite in the dark, don't peg out tent upside down. It doesn't work very well

Do not separate tent bits.
My hiking partner split the poles and pegs from the tent we were to share to evenly spread the weight between our packs. The pegs went into my pack and the poles were strapped to the outside. The poles, of course, went missing. We finally located them - they had fallen off and were in the cargo hold of the plane, which was now in Canberra or Sydney or somewhere else a long, long way from Cradle Mountain. We were reunited with them the following day.

If you have a new tent that uses hiking poles remember to bring them and not just assume because you are car camping you don't need them.....

I swung it around to the side for the photo, but normally it sits nicely under the sole of the boot.
