I used to have a Sevylor K2 and it was great - just got to watch for overinflation and I'm really not sure about a dog, as GGTBod mentions

The Habitat has arrived! Bought from Backpackinglight.co.uk - arrived super quick and with a bag of Skittles in the box, great touch. Tent was up in the living room in a few minutes. Love it. Will do a proper review after our trip next week! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Any Beagle owners? When we move out of the city, it'll be one of the first acquisitions I hope!

Thanks Kieran. So, ran the Luxe Habitat past the missus and she loved it. So I think I'm going to order one of those. Will try and do a bit of a kit review on it after our trip as there doesn't seem to be that much info on it. Thanks all for your input Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Great stuff, thanks Mahomasy!

Thanks again guys. Have just been into a Cotswold Outdoors and they had a Vango 2 man set up and it was definitely a bit on the tight side. They had a Vango Banshee 300 in there and the pack size and weight were pretty good! Seems tents have come on a bit while I've been slung in a hammock with...

Thanks people - will probably trying and get up to the Cotswold store today - they have the Banshee 300 at £99. I guess they are all fairly similar, Coleman seems to have a touch of extra height but nothing much in it.

Hi all, So...the better half and I are off to do a bit of wild camping in a few weeks time so I'm on the hunt for a new tent. I am looking for something fairly decent 3 berth so we aren't too cramped Light and small enough to carry around all day walking. Budgeting around the £100...

Hi Jay, I was just looking at a Banshee 300 at Go Outdoors - they have them for £99 though - see here Are you open to offers? Thanks, JC

I used to have a Sevylor Pointer K2. It was great when the tubes were behaving - but I had a lot of issues with them blowing seals. Perhaps that was my fault with over-inflating, but I am much happier with my rigid one now. Agreed, it's harder to transport, but you can get some pretty nifty...

Not still for sale is it?

I was just looking at this one on the Timex website. How well does the compass perform?
