edd_t Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 that looks funky. might go for one of them myself. although saying that, watching the vid it looks a bit small for a 2 birth! and 2 short for me too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newbury_ian Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I heard about these on Radio 1 the other day. they sound great and firebox sell them for £35. The only warning that was given is that they are only single skin so if it rains you could be in serious trouble. Unless you happened to be in the mood for a swim:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I'll stick with fighting with bits of sticks and spending 60 mins on it only to give up and having remembered there's a bit missing. (which incidentally I've just realised I didn't sort out!!) Looks like I'm test erecting at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 As long as its better than the one that Kn1ght and his missus had last year. They had an instant pop up tent. Great, but putting it away again took them ages. They gave up in the end and chucked it in the bin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 As long as its better than the one that Kn1ght and his missus had last year. They had an instant pop up tent. Great, but putting it away again took them ages. They gave up in the end and chucked it in the bin! That was my first thought... I can imaging wrestling with it in the mud for half an hour trying to get it back into the bag muttering die beast die etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyin_scouseman Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I'm sure i first seen them in the great outdoors shop and they were doing a special deal with tent; 2x floor matts and 2x sleeping bags for £50. Don't know if they're still doing it though.... Gonna check this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a very tight squeeze in a one man tent but I'm willing to make a sacrifice if you are. Just don't take much clothing as its going to be very warm and sticky in the love den.

Wasn't as bad as I thought considering we didn't have instructions and someone at our workplace gave it us for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
