Brilliant tents, I spent 5 Norwegian winters in one of those, although we had the arctic liners for them!

You need cash or fancy a trade or part trade ?

Paul

 

[EarlyRiser]

Hi Paul,

I'd definitely prefer cash but I'd be interested in hearing what you have to offer.

Cheers,

Tom

Whats it pack size and weight mate ?

Re a part trade, what are you thinking, bushcrafty stuff or other ?

Any pics of inside ?

Paul

 

[EarlyRiser]

I've got it stored in two rubble sacks. One with the tent in is approx 52cm x 35cm x 25cm.

The longest pole is 83cm.

The poles, pegs (including 8 delta ground anchors) and groundsheet fit loosely into another bag which roughly measures 83cm x 30cm x 20cm at its widest points.

Total weight of all items is 21.5kg.

I don't have any fixed ideas about a part trade as I'd prefer the cash. However, you might have something I'd be interested in if you want to make a suggestion.

Sorry, no photos of the inside.

Cheers,

Tom

Here's the 5-man in a full on blizzard, damn good tents...until they get wet...then they aren't too great! They aren't really suitable for this country in the wet although they are fine as you can see in the photos above for spring & summer use! But that's just my opinion based on experience!

 

[Paullyfuzz]

I take it Greg you mean they are heavy when wet, and not that they leak in the wet ?

I slept in it on approximately 12 occasions last year (Spring, Summer and Autumn) and experienced a fair bit of rain around Loch Rannoch. My experience was that it kept the rain out extremely well without becoming sodden.

BTW, great pictures of the blizzard Greg.

Cheers,

Tom

As long as you don't touch the canvas the rain will be kept at bay, The one for sale looks practically brand new..which is good...the ones we used were your typical battered to death squaddie tents! When we used them in Dartmoor for pre-deployment training they never kept any water out!! Oh and yes they got very heavy!!

Hmmm 15 years ago, this is going to sound silly but worth a shot. Any chance this tent is still available as I've been on the look out for one.

Fingers crossed for you.
