How many tents do you own?

[windchill]

And why?

I just have the one, a Mountain Hardware 'Thru Hiker'. Great tent, 2 man but i dont mind the weight for the space and its bomb proof. Lived out of it in Patagonia for 3 months and it saw some serious wind. It does for the gf and i if she comes out with me, but we could maybe do with something bigger.

I also have an army issue bivi bag and tarp for extra light trips and I have a 2nd world war hammock that has never been used.... its pretty bulky but i might take it out sometime.

I've got a 4 berth pop up for family camping, a 4 berth pop up shelter, (recently saved our backsides in the snow at Riblehead) a 3 berth pop up vango for roughing it with swmbo, a pop up vango Dart for myself. Stands up to anything and everything the UK can throw at it, bomb proof. My new Vango Banshee 200, a Vango shelter 2012 and a army issue Basha and arctic Bivvy bag. I need to stop buying tents lol

A vango force 10 and a merdina fly recently added

 

[DS1150]

1 pop up (good for car camping with GF)
1 mountain tent (ok for 2 people, great for 1 person when on motorbike)
1 tipee tent (new and not tested yet)
1 cheap Argos tent (needed it for Ibiza when I'd lent out my mountain tent)

Are you including shelters in there also?
3 tarps

 

[santaman2000]

NOW:
-One 5'x7' pup tent (about 3' tall.
-A couple of tarps

In the past I've owned various other pup tents, tarps and a couple of larger tents (way back when I had an old fashioned umbrella tent and about 15 years ago I had a 12'x12' frame tent.

1. A tiny tent that I bought for 10 euros second handed. It's about the size of a big bottle of water rolled up, it says suitable for 2 people. But that's not comfortable, it's just big enough for me and the dog if he's coming. I'm thinking about starting to use a tarp though as I don't really like being locked up in a tent at night.

 

[Bucephalas]

Laser Comp, Gelert Solo, Avior X3, Gelert Minilite, Kalahari 10 and some other 6-8 man tents.
About 7 in all.
