kaytee... Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 £25 quid for this tent, decent for sleeping one and holds up to rain.

I normally find an eyeshadow pallet with mirror or a small mirror compact whilst seated on a camp chair with a breakfast cider to be the best bet. Plus then you can discuss "the look" with your friends and get in on some good glitter (biodegradable) action, or similar. Just don't want you to regret taking something you may not use!

giantkatestacks Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Thanks! I have had it for years and you're right I do normally end up doing it outside the tent or in the crew tent! But it still works for me as it isn't glass. Edited May 22, 2022 by giantkatestacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiggy553 Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Tent campers i seriously recommend buying a footprint groundsheet. Gives an extra layer of protection (and waterproofness) from anything sharp piercing the bottom of the tent. Stops the bottom of the tent getting wet/muddy. (It’s much easier to clean a ground sheet when you get home than the bottom of your tent) Gives you some clean and dry floorspace to pack all your stuff (including your tent) away before you depart for home.

Do you use a custom size footprint sheet for your tent, or a more generic rectangular sheet? I'm just having a look at this now, doesn't look like Decathlon do a footprint for the tent I'm planning to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did exactly this for my trip last weekend and it's a great idea, made it really easy to pack up too. Forget searching for tent footprints, just go to Screwfix and get a tarpaulin that's roughly the right size. It'll be about half the price of a tent footprint. The one we got had plenty of eye holes to peg it out, we just had to fold one end over to be able to get the tent pegs in.

CauliflowerEar Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 For anyone like me who doesnt like spending lots of money on a tent (they very rarely come home with me, especially if the tent has got wet and muddy) i have found a bit of a bargain at Halfords. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 I got one as well, but the cable's a wee bit short if you want to hook it to e.g. a belt loop but still take photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
