Aloha wildman,

We actually do divvy up who will bring what prior to, but most of the campers are newbie campers. In the past, I did all the cooking, now only maybe once or twice per trip. But I still end up making all the fires. But on this last trip, two of the other dads also tended the fire so I wasn't the only one doing it.

We are making progress. The moms are even trying there hands at setting up the tents. Then after the rains starts, they will ask, "how come water is coming into my tent?" Then I end up helping them with their adjustments and telling them what they are doing and why it is important to do it a certain way. In the case of the rain and runoff getting into the tent, we went over why the rainfly should be attached properly as we properly adjusted the attachment of said rainfly.

But good fun. And the whole group is getting better and our next one in about a month or so should probably be our biggest group so far. I am thinking 30-40 people.
