how long does it take you to go from camp set up to in the bag and on the trail?
it seems it takes the wife and i right at an hour no matter we try and this seems like a long time to me... is it?
 
I have never timed it but it's under 30 with a Super tarp or mega.
 
If everything is dry and wouldn't otherwise need to be repacked, I take my time to clean and properly roll/stuff everything. This way it is ready to go the next time I grab it off the shelf. On an average I'd say about half an hour to break camp.
 
Probably 1/2 hour or so depending on how long we've stayed there... If constantly moving I'll only break out the essentials for camp. If we plan on staying awhile I'll empty everything to get my day pack light as possible. In that case it'll probably take me an extra 10-15 minutes to get camp ready to roll.

20-30 mins seems to be about the average depending on the shelter, and outside conditions.
