Default Anyone need a new tent? Bargain!!!!

Just got this for Gatebil. Martin bought one too!

I know nothing about camping or tents, but I do know that this should not be taken up Everest!!!

But as something to stick in your boot for an overnighter at a Carshow or festival then this has got to be good VFM!!

Look at all the gear you get with it for less than £100!!!! I paid more than that for the last sleeping bag I bought.... you get 4 fookers for free with this

if you paid £100 for a sleeping bag... you have far too much money to burn!

Think it was alot more than that. May have been £200! my mate took it to a Festival in Spain last year and had an 'accident' in it....

the brown stains clashed with the yellow lining so I binned it

Thanks for that one. Monkey was my mates name! he shits more like a fooking Rhino though...

Porkie:

The tent is shit cause the "bedrooms" are literally just big enough for a mattress and fuck all else, and the middle bit isnt very weather proof for keeping stuff in.

The matresses are cheap crap and even fully inflated they arent very comfortable

The sleeping bags are small and shit

The lights came with no batteries and I couldnt be arsed to buy any.



I agree its great value, but mainly cause its shit quality, like a Kia is a great value car




Oh, and you will NEVER get it back in its case, ever, in any cirumstances, once its unpacked thats it for life, it will never go back.

lol... i found out that you onlyy ever take stuff that can be replaced to a festival... and keep anything thats important on your person at any time... so the tent is a £30 shitter, the sleeping bag cost about a fiver and clothes are the ones that are being replaced soon... lol

its one of those tents you just throw in the air and it opens itself.

"instant erection" hence the term "viagra tent"

They are a bit shit size wise, but ideal for being a lazy cunt

Yep, you just launch it in the air.

Then when it lands you turn it up the right way and bung a couple of pegs in it.

Literally around 5 seconds in total!

Porkie, you really need to get one, I know you love technology stuff as much as I do, and that tent is a perfect example of cool technology in action.

Even if you sleep in the halfords one which is bigger, you HAVE to buy the millets one just to put it up and see how cool it is
And its only 40 quid, thats not even half a bottle of champers!

The downside I found to it was though that if you wear it with the backstraps then due to its large round flat packaging, if you are bald and ugly, you end up looking like a teenage mutant ninja turtle
