The really sad thing is that I can pack my life into my car in 30 min and not leave much behind. I do it on a regular basis.
Base-tent, bed, tarp, chairs. then: tub 1: clothing, mostly medieval. Packs 2-3 times as well as modern, esp. jeans. Added benifit of easy layering for warmth. Modern clothing in this tub is clean socks and underwear. tub 2: random misc. The stuff I need to set up camp with for a month. This tub never comes unpacked because I have doubles of everything in it. it is also only about 1/2 full, so things like my jewelry boxes, the yarn bags, and a coat fill the rest of the space nicely. tub 3: dry goods. throw in everything not in glass from the pantry. cooler: everything from the fridge and freezer that can 1) be used quickly or 2)last outside cooling. Include the 2 half-gallon ice jugs. 4 days of your own water means that they don't have to bring it in for you. mini-tub: tea kettle, tea, dry soup mix. (this tub is also always packed)
top layer: Coats and shoes and blankets.
My normal packing time for all this is about 20 min, because I've done it so often. THe only thing that will throw off my timing is the food, because I usually think and plan the dry goods tub and pack it carefully after the grocery run...so I don't know how long it and the cooler would take me.
