Bivey and a tarp are always in my pack, because you never know.  Main camp is always set but sometimes not visited for a couple days.

For me it is rain dependent. If everything is soaked, as it often is around here, I just hike in 7-10, set base and day trip from there. My fave way to do it is just bivy, super light weight, get up and go every day.

I like to base camp.. Makes me hunt hard all day knowing I have warm dry clothes and a hot meal waiting for me when I get back.. Spent plenty of nights under the stars too I suppose, but anymore a nice little light base camp and I'm a happy camper... Er I mean Hunter!

I have a super lightweight single man tent that I leave set up.  The thought of packing my entire camp on my back every day isn't appealing as it would greatly limit the ground I could cover in a given day.  I hunt light and fast and am prepared to hike long miles back to camp in the dark if necessary.
