Post Your Tent! (Pre-festival season warmup)

[tarannau]

I'm gonna get a vango - might opt for that one meself

I was gonna get a 4man for me, but might have a camping companion for next year, so poss a 5 man

Is it flysheet first?

Why the hell are you getting a 4 man tent for one? One or even two extra berth spaces I can understand, but surely that's a lot of extra weight for a festival tent?

I mean, I like my space as much as the next man, but our generous 3 man Blacks tent is actually pretty spacious for a couple.

Being as enviromentally sound/tight as we are, we tatted a few replacement poles and took it home to fix. Only to discover, when we got home, that we'd left the tatted poles and brought the knackered ones back with us

if you've still got the original tent, you can get a pretty wide range of replacement poles online..

Because I want to - that alright with you? I plan on going to lots of small festies next year, not ones that mean a 2 hour hike from car to camp - and having done too many small tents, want a bigger one

to be honest, i think fieryjack wins with this temple of canvas from electric picnic a couple of years ago

in case you're wondering - no, that's not the back, that's the side of it at full stretch. And no, he's not stood a lot nearer the camera than the tent. It really is that small.

and a single skin

that was when we'd just arrived. by the end of that night, the useless tight-arsed wanker was in with us and his pencil case was a swamp. Sorry, TENT

[Firky]

I am not sure what the rationale was behind this but I am sure it made sense at the time.

 

[Dubversion]

[Firky]

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

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'

... 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

... he had to bite his hand cus if he laughed they would know hes in there

fucking classic story had me pissing meself with laughter. Firky you're a legend.
