Product Information

Tent footprints are available to buy separately from tents at outdoor retailers. They're essentially an extra groundsheet that you can pitch before your tent, with the aim of pitching your tent on top of it. N.B. It seems difficult to find the green colourway online. I believe the next model year has been released in a less-than-stealthy red, with the same feature list as the green one here. Stand-Out Features So what can we say about our little Cairngorm 2 tent adventure? The tent itself was up in no time, which was clearly a bonus on this occasion as it was very cold and getting dark. We wanted to be pitched up fast and settled into our sleeping bags. We had only pitched this tent once previously, just to get a feel for how it went together se we were by no means experts. It goes up without any hassle. It is a simple and straight forward design, with nothing complicated about it. Most tents have thin, collapsible poles made from fibreglass. They often fold up into a compact size and are connected by an elastic cord. They're usually flexible and will need to be bent to fit the shape of the tent canvas during pitching.

A good rule of thumb is to go for a tent that's claimed to sleep one more person than you need. If you're a family of four, for example, we'd recommend going for a five-person tent. We were soon pitched and ready for a coffee, we had plenty of water with us but I didn’t need an excuse to gather some of the surrounding snow to make a hot drink. Note to self, a pan full of snow doesn’t make much coffee. Gathering snow and heating it up on the Optimus Crux stove, anyone would think we were big kids – we are. Once the tents are up, we closely inspect the interior of each one and rate them on how likely campers are to have a comfortable and enjoyable experience that meets their needs. Features like a bathtub-style floor, taped seams, and a rainfly extending over the tent can enhance waterproofing.EASY TO PITCH - This camping tent takes just 7 minutes to pitch.

Are very popular in all sections of the tent world, from the lightest of hiking tents to big family camping tents. This is because the shape is very adaptable and space-friendly, whether using traditional poles or an inflatable design, tunnel tents are easy to split into multiple rooms if need be. You can distinguish tunnel tents by their half-cylinder shape.
