Getting it tied without having fits.

Setting up camp is difficult if you don't have a good array of hitches at your disposal.  To help you develop your rope skills check out these two excellent hitches.  The elder Siberian hitch is very useful for setting a ridge line and can be easily set at awkward angles or while wearing gloves.  The modern Farrimond friction hitch is another easily tied "slipped-hitch" that is reminiscent of a Prusik knot or Lark's Head/Cow Hitch.  Study the diagrams and videos then practice these two hitches until you can tie them with your eyes closed so that you can have the best chance of securing your shelter and camp with the least amount of frustration.
