Post Your Tent! (Pre-festival season warmup)

[Rogue]

I was in one of these at Glade and SGP - it's not mine but they are fucking wicked. If you can afford it and have a car they're properly worth it.

[Kanda]

Yeah I think Glastonbury robbed a lot of people of their tents - come to think of it mostly all festivals did that.


Rain rain go away

Good job it wasnt pissing down eh.

I was rescued by a lovely girl who took pity on me

vango with a front and back door, essential for breeze coolness and letting out air biscuits.

This is my mates tent at Reading O6, after having had a bin/bladder/food scraps emptied in it. I think it was set fire to in the end, which displeased me immensely as my tent was next door.

Here is a view looking in my own tent (and Mrs P and Holly enjoying a drink)

Yep, when I went to Reading it was full of idiotic kids too and that is why it is a shit "festival".

"What twisted fuck would sleep in that?"

 

[pengaleng]

[Tort]

Unfortunately after Glastonbury / WOMUD / Beautiful Days etc it's not this clean anymore

 

[Firky]

lol omg im laughing so much im seriously crying

I remember unrolling it and thinking "is that it?" Fucking wind sock propped up with a garden cane.

Look at all the other tents people have on this thread... they're miracles of design and engineering. Then there is mine. Made in India by some 10 year old boy for 20p to be sold in Woolies to mugs

 

[Tort]

Of course that water was also full of turds from the overturned portaloos a few yards away!

 

[pengaleng]

jesus it was so fucking funny, he nearly cried when he unrolled it and it dropped out the bag he was looking for the rest of it then figured 'oh... that's it'

LOL it wouldnt even stay up lol he spent one night sleeping in it and the bigger boys next door thought it was for storing beer, at one point he returned to the tent and was in it after not having slept and they all srta gathered around it and started saying it looked like you could die in there and no one would notice and generaly taking the pis, we was sitting in me mams tent one day and this girl walked past and just goes omg have you seen that it looks like a bodybag ROFL i couldnt help meself but laugh

I am not even claustrophobic but I got it in that thing. I got all panicy, it was like having a carrier bag on your head.

 

[pengaleng]

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Firky]

I bet the big boys talk about it to this day, "Man.. you should have seen this tent! It was a femidom."

 

[Firky]

I couldn't even get undressed or dressed in the thing. I had to put my bag outside, take out what I wanted and stand with a towel around me. Which wasn't so bad when it was dry but when it was cold, wet and muddy,...

 

[pengaleng]

I bet it was the highlight of their festival

 

[Firky]

I felt so ashamed.

 

[pengaleng]

come on messhenge so i can take the piss

 

[Pavlik]

Here is how my son camps - id love to do this! One of these days...

Ray Mears style. I'm liking that a lot
You'd definitely get robbed though wouldn't you, if you left all your stuff on the ground at pilton.

Agreed, and that's why i will never be going back to Reading. It just seems to be an excuse for kids who are away from their parents to act like absolute savages for a weekend, absolutely no respect for anyone, not the friendly atmosphere you get at other festivals. After the riots of Reading and the corporate shit of V, i was hugely impressed by Latitude, that's the way festivals should be.
