Use daylight for the fiddly jobs
Sunset is a useful reminder, but shade, cloud and terrain can make a campsite feel dark earlier. Set a reminder for about an hour before sunset and move it earlier if your plans need more time. Check pegs and guylines without walking over your neighbours’ space.
Make a little night station
Choose one predictable place for your headlamp, warm layer, shoes, drinking water and anything you may need during the night. Keep a clear route out of the tent. A dim light is more comfortable around camp than an unnecessarily bright lantern shining into nearby tents.
Check the forecast for the place you will actually camp.
Close down the kitchen
Finish washing and water collection while you can see. Follow local rules for food, scented items, waste and wastewater. Check the next few hours of weather while you have a connection. Make sure everyone knows the campsite location and the evening plan.
