I hate tents so i only have four. 1 three man , 2 two man , 1 one man. They're a bit like getting a perm in the 70's, having one seems like a good idea at the time as everyone else has one but all you end up doing is asking yourself Why?

 

[Elen Sentier]

2 ... first one was a pop-up to see if I liked the idea of camping at all. Second is the Gossamer Gear "The One" (no longer made apparently) because i found I did like it . Neither get used so much now as I love hanging but the GG is superb if I go walkies rather than base-camp and so need to carry my bed on my back (snail-fashion) as it weighs less than a handkerchief, is dead easy to errect, quite roomy enough for me and very effective in wind and rain. As a single skin there is the condensation problem but GG have done a good job with aeriation however it does mean there can be a draft under the bottom which is not always fun!

 

[ozzy1977]

I only have 3 tents
1x Hillberg Nallo 2 GT
1x cheap but huge 3 man
1x army pup

and the US modular bivvy/sleep bag system

 

[blacktimberwolf]

Just the one vicar, a 33 year old Bukta Orienteer................................Why ? 'cause I know it well & can knock it up in a jiffy, it also does what a tent should do, even after all this time......I'm too tight-fisted to get another one anyway

 

[Dunx]

Got a couple... Not used all though. Tents used to only last a trip for one reason or another....

Cheap 3man with porch
Cheap 2man with porch(ish) not used
Both pack sizes arent great sooo....
Small pack size 2 man dome - not used other than checking it...

Dessert basha and tw cheap hamock - not used yet...

Will hopefully be getting a mini peak in the near future

Got a tent fetish, so:

Tentipi Varrie 9 with Eldfell stove
Tentipi Varrie 5
Helsport Porsanger lavvu with Frontier stove
Hilleberg Nammatj 3 GT
Hilleberg Staika
Hilleberg Akto
Terra Nova Terra Firma
Terra Nova Hyperspace
Terra Nova Ultra Quasar
Wild Country Trisar (20 years old and still superb)
Macpac Microlight
Vango Force 10 Mk4 cotton
MEC Wanderer 4 (superb Canadian canoe-tripping tent)
Huge Vango family tent no longer used
Old Lichfied lightweight - Mistral 3 (my first proper tent!)
Various parachutes, tarps etc

Of these I would say the Varrie 9, the Staika and the Hyperspace are the main users. I am guilty, this year at least, of having more tents than nights under canvas. I just like tents!
