It really all depends on youth conditioning. My formative camping years were in the English Lake District, and Snowdonia (Wales). Both characterized by consistent rain. The first thing one did when halting was to set up some kind of rain shelter. That habit persists. I note that UK tent descriptions/tests, always comment on fly first pitching, which is almost impossible with most US tens. I note that nowadays, UK manufacturers promote emergency "Bothy Bags" ot be used for lunch breaks as well as emergency situations.
