I camp all the time

I used to camp once or twice a year. You don't develop the "muscle memory" to pack everything up nicely. So just just kinda throw it together meaning to sort it later. The next year you grab it and it's still all fucky and it's a huge effort to make it less so.

You're right insofar as for someone who does it all the time it's easy, but not so much for occasional users. To be fair that's sort of the opposite premise than you were responding to. They would've been better off suggesting you either never do it or do it all the time.

Even for people who camp regularly, it's easy because you've done it so many times. That doesn't mean the process is ideal to begin with.

Point is even when I first started camping this was never really an issue because I literally took the time to just look at the tent and say oh it goes back together like this it's really not that difficult of a thing for somebody to spend an extra 2 minutes to look at their camping setup and realize how to fold everything back up.

Well I would disagree there. I can't even get a Christmas tree back in the box and that couldn't be easier to disassemble.
