Tents

[*BiGBonES**]

First tent:

A 6 man Tundra tunnel tent.

Weight: About 20 kg

Length: 8meters

Height: Over 6ft in the middle

 

 

My opinions:

 

I'm quite pleased with this tent. If you have a truck to transport it in, then go for it. Plenty of room inside, can sleep 6 people using the 2 3-man compartments. Me and my girlfriend took it away for a weekend, stored food in one compartment and slept in the other.

 

It can't hack windy conditions very well, mainly due to its size. I ended up using about 6 pegs for each rope to hold it firm.

 

 

Second tent:

2/3 man Eurohike tent

Weight: 8kg

Legnth: 2 meteres estimate

Height: under 6ft

 

 

Description:

 

Mines a bit better than the picture shows. It has nicer colours and has a different make, but the shape is similar. Its a good tent, lasted me about 6 years. Its easy to set up, and extremely easy to carry. The only disadvantage is its size, meaning it may be a bit uncomfortable to store all the equipment in aswell as sleep more than one person.

 

There you have it, post up your tents

Hmm, I'll post my tents up when I get home, but as an engineer I just gotta say, its either Metric or its SI, which one will it be?

I have a tent that someone gave me, who knows what it is, I never put it up.

 

I only wanted to post here and tell you that I enjoyed the pun in the topic.

I just bought a new family tent this year and it got rain tested with no water getting into the main body of it

A little did get into the porch area because of the high winds but a small piece of plastic did the trick just fine. For backpacking I use a different tent

Just remember when choosing a tent make sure that the rain fly goes almost to the ground and also use a good seam sealer before you venture out for the first time

IMO, you can't much beat a good Mountain Hardware tent. I have the skyview 3, which isn't made anymore. You can still find them online and they're worth the money. Light enough for hiking, and a great three season tent. It has tons of ventilation and seals up nice for heavy rain/wind. IMO a tent is more important to upgrade than a sleeping bag.

 

Whatever you get, seal the seams as suggested above. And also buy (if it's not included) a base that matches your tent to put under it

Tents? What kind of panzies are you? Buy a solid 20* wiggys bag, a fleece liner for is its cold or use alone when warm, then lay on a construction tarp. Make sure it is big enough to pull over yourself if it rains. I have woken up with ice on my bag, slept through sandstorms, pelting rain, snow and prolly anything else anyone can come up with. All without a tent.
