Lets see your bell tent!

[dwardo]

Ayup all,

Lets have a look at your bell tent setup

Maybe an idea to explain any tips or pointers that you have found useful.

To kick it off here are two shots of mine. Only tried the chandelier as the weather has been kind on our trips out.

Are brilliant but I have sold mine due to literally not using it and preferring to use the hammock and tarp which in my opinion is far superior nights kip cos the ground can be lumpy and bumpy and I really want a patrol tent and have dunn since I baught it. Now your set up looks awesome and very practical but my advice is to have loop sewn in to the pole holder on the out side then crab a 4.5 by 3 meters to it with the 3 meters being the cross the door length and then have a pole at the other end and then guy it out. Why well if u don't you will always tred muck and water in to the tent exactly were u don't want it. Also u then have an outdoor cooking space and place to sit on warm but. Wet days that isn't in the tent.
Also another tip is attach key split rings on to your fabric pegs loops and then when use it put the pegs through the split ring and it won't damage the peg loop
Now if u want anymore tips just shout but that should do for now

The outdoor area sounds great for our british summer..
The tent is for family glamping and could never replace my hammock and tarp, whole different beasts.
Cant wait to perch it on the end of a loch and have the boy wake to some of the most stunning scenery the UK has to offer.
Just have to save up for the stove now

This is one used at one of the recent meet

And was used by Wayland and Debs while visiting at my site.

Complete with a authentic Viking bed

The bed is brilliant
A friend makes one very similar. I don't suppose it packs down does it?
