Need Some Help - One Man Tent Required

I've got one. It's certainly small and light. I find it a bit too cramped, but I am a fat old b*stard. I've also got a larger, cheap 3-man jobby I bought for £25 when Littlewoods closed down. It's done me two years.

errrrmmmmmm

so do i take the 3 man tent or get one like WRC63

I would say that unless you are planinng having a party in it you only need something big enough for you and your gear.

Have you had a look at ebay ?????????

I've just opened up another browser window and had a quick look, currently 1125 tents for sale. I bought a 2 bedroom 4 man tent last year for using on the bike and I can just get it on (we have to put it on the back of the wife's fazer as it has a decent "ar*e end" for it to sit on. I'm well happy with it.

Have a look at millets the camping outdoor types people shops, a couple of years ago I got a 3 man dome tent with 2 sleeping bagse FREE !!!!!., and that tent fits on the bike no worries.

A word of warning about a single skinned tent, a mate borrowed a little 2 man single skinned tent from me to go to Donnington MOTOGP in 2004, we were going to stay Sunday night as well and ride home on the Monday, but his tent became an indoor swimming pool so he had to go home on the Sunday , make sure that if you do get a tent you get a double skinned one.

I also have a 2 man double skinned one by "camping gas", which I got from a caravan showroon, it survived a howling gale on SKYE not so long ago, not only waterproof, but didn't blow away like one of my mates. We came back to find only 2 out of 10 pegs were holding it down, it made a lovely FLAG, blowing around in the wind !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

recomended by WRC63.........looks a good un

I find a good sleeping bag makes a cheap tent a hell of a lot better as long as it's not so cheap it lets the water in

I've got a 2Man tent (will find the model later) for £80 that's done me wonders and still packs up small enough to carried on the bike.

Use it for weekends out airsofting a few times a year.
