Bespoke tentage anyone? Huge round ones for those of us fortunate enough to have an arse. poly-tunnels for the giants and back-packs fer the littler lot. I want a tent that I can stand up in so that I don`t have to pad about in the rain fer a wee.
The one I bought-"festival tent" looked the biz in the box. First few nights were dandy. zips broke. Huge and, rather intimidating throngs of insect life started moving in in their thousands and living (layers deep) in writhing piles in small spaces left in the mesh. I fed it a kebab and shot it. Pulled a few bits off too. Festival tents are pants. Just what was festive?Oh yeah, the tent I had before that...first night in a farmers field on Cranbourne Chase, a cow did what useless, ugly, smelly, challenged but, rather tasty cows do down the side of it. I fell asleep on my back with fag in mouth and burnt a hole through it too. Don`t try this at home kids-we are trained professionals!!! Could see stars through the hole though......
