British Army Mosquito Net Tents

We could have a whip round and ship a load to Fukashima. Proper job!

Well with all the gubbins cut off it comes in at sub 1kilo.

Just a thought........wouldn't a 2 man tent do but not put the outer cover up????

Dammit Martin why does your pitch always look like something out of the Ideal Homes Ehxibition?

Carrier bags are round the back......

I have one of these for ground dwelling... brilliant bit of kit.

If we carry on were going to go full circle and end up with a lightweight tent

Which is in fairness where I got to on another thread.

I'm going to try the hammock but I'm happier to know I have this as a cheap back up if I or one of the kids cant hack tree dangling.

If I end up on the ground I will invest in a sub 1.5kg tent.

Well my item arrived and what a bargain it is. Really well made and hardly seen use by the look of it.

Velcro flaps cover the zip meeting points so you are really sealed in.

The ground sheet is made of the same kind of cordura that knock off Maxpeditions are. Guessing at 600D and it looks like it's had some kind of waterproofing. If I was careful where I pitched I think this would protect my air bed.

The bathtub sheet comes up the sides quite a bit and offers some protection from drafts.

The mesh is pretty solid. You won't easily snag it on a watch strap, hang nail or similar.

For £15 delivered it doesn't make sense for me not to have one.

Tried one out this weekend just gone:

Karl used his with the poles:

Looks pretty squared away. What's that groundsheet Karl's using?

The mosquito tent set up underneath the tarp looks a good way to beat the midges/insects and the stuffiness/condensation of a conventional tent. Think I might invest in one! Cheers.
