[at-l] Packing in the rain

[daveh@psknet.com (Dave Hicks)]

1 -- I use a Nomad -- e.g., single-wall silicon treated nylon.  As such, the
cloth, itself, does not hold water and can be dried by wiping with a camp
towel.

2 -- I carry it in the mesh pocket on the outside of a G4.

3 -- I have a silicon treated nylon VB bag that doubles as a waterproof
liner INSIDE the pack.

While still inside the Nomad I pack everything into the silicon treated
nylon VB bag inside the G4, put it and my raingear on, then crawl out and
quickly take down the tent stuffing it & ground cloth in the pack's mesh
pocket.

Setting up is the reverse.

Are there any good tricks or process for getting packed and going from a
small tent in the rain?
We just don't get much experience here in Texas - either it's dry, or your
tent just blew away.
