My new winter tent!

[Captaincrash]

Just picked this up for my winter camping, so far very pleased. Toasty warm with a candle lantern (vents open of course) in minus 6 Celsius last night! It's a eureka 5 season tent (not sure what the 5th season is). Bought it off a guy who never used it, in fact had only put it up once to take the picture for the classified ad! Got it for $100 Canadian dollars!

I'm guessing that is a real bargain! Nice one.

Colours are very understated though........................

A Eureka price there!

I'm not a big fan of tents but I'm envious of that one at that price.

Nice one Crash looking forward to some in action shots

That's a great price for a good tent. 5 seasons means full winter, high altitude/mountain pitches- should be bomb-proof!!!!

Well done!

Looks amazing and sounds as though it is bomb-proof. Do your rucksck and kit match?

I like it mate. Colour is as colour does. You dont want a mountain tent in camo colours lol.

I suspect you could get a black fly (if it didn't indeed originally come with one in Eureka green)

My kit is very primitive other than my tent and pack (north face primero 60). I take my homemade knife and bowsaw , a Birch kuksa, birch spoon and a wood burning stove for cooking. Flint (brought back with me from my visit to the uk) and steel for fire lighting, and lots of wool for clothing. I live mostly off of bannock, chaga or pine needle tea while out. I get to camp on a pair of 70 year old snow shoes.....I would Prefer a canvas tent and Woodstove over my current tent but the price was too good to pass up!

Not a Batman fan then ?

Looks to be a great tent, like the colour too as its cheerful to wake up too, so much nicer than a darker tent.

Thats a nice tent! make sure you check its waterproof before you set out- it may need a quick proof if its been stored and crinkled over time.
