Hi all, I am looking for a good tent that I can set up a army cap bed in, so it must have a bit of head room to accommodate the cot and myself, looking for a 3 man tent just for myself.
Cheers

cheap but looks like it has the internal dimensions you are looking for. weighs 5kg. I saw this the other day when I thought about using a camp bed on occasions. I don't know if it any good though, I haven't actually seen one for the touchy-feely test.

I have the khyam igloo and the lareger khyam xl xxxl tents, I am looking for something around £200 or under, I do like the Snugpak scorpion 3 and the bunker but I would have to forgo the cot, the only thing about the snugpak's are that they look quite dark inside, I have not seen one in person, can't find a local dealer in cornwall selling the these tents.
I want fairly lightweight 3 - 4 season.
I am 6 foot tall so either a tent that I can stand in and have a small porch where I can do a brew,
Or forgo standing but would like to be able to make a brew in the entrance with a little bit of protection, (think this rules out the Bunker) other than that, I couls attatch a tarp over the front of the tent, for added cover.

Check out your local fishing store for a carp fishing bivvy... loads of two three man or more which have the head room for a camp bed.. they go up fast and are green...

Bergans lavvo 4 to 6. Will fit the bed easy it has head room inside and doesn't break your back at 5kg its a mountain tent so can take a beating from the weather.
Right it's going to be a Snugpak 3, just need a good warm sleeping bag that can open up as a duvet if needed, pack up small but doesn't cost a fortune, I was thinking of the forces modular system but don't really get on with the mummy system
Suggest a separate thread perhaps as it's now about sleeping bags?
A small point on the modular system - it won't qualify for the 'pack up small' unless it's only the summer bag you're taking.
As with many things outdoorsy, you can only really have a combination of two of these things:
Warm
Packs small
Cheap
Vango Banshee 200 or 300 might be worth a look. I have the 200, it's a very up close and cozy for two though. Pack size and weight is pretty good, ideal for one and plenty sit up room. Dual doors so you can have a brew out of the windy side.
This link is for the 300, plenty room in there at under 3kgs.

Have a look at the 200 if it's just for you. My only concern if you're on a cot, is the swept down foot area.

Vango Banshee 300 looks good, as I said earlier, I might have to rethink the camp bed and go for decent padding underneath.
I have neither a Banshee nor this add-on, but having spotted it ... well, you know
And as it connects, both figuratively and literally, to things already said ...

That's what I'd do. Even in the 4m belltent I use an Exped Synmat, despite owning a couple of fishing bedchairs.
If youre going this route, check the HD range of the above, also Decathlon, and Slumit Flashframe tents........
