Perfect Expedition Tent?

[SCOMAN]

My only experience of fee-standing tents is the MSR series and it was great. I have a MSR Hubba available for sale if yr interested. It comes with the additional footprint.

I bought a Vango Chinook for the same reasons, but for use canoeing in northern Scotland where often the best places to camp are on sand and shingle beaches.

I bought the Chinook 200 (2 person) as a solo tent and it gives plenty of space for me, but you would want to be good friends if you were sharing it with another adult.

I forgot to say that the Chinook is entirely freestanding, pitches outer first or inner and outer together and comes in a 3 person version (the Chinook 300). The only problem might be getting hold of one as I don't think they make them any more. An alternative could be the Vango Halo, which only needs two pegs to hold the porch out.

Cheers, Michael.

Looks ok?


The Springbar tents are very good. This ones only about 9kg. And canvas, and good mossy netting all around. Plus they are very good at standing up against high winds etc, because of the design. Under 10oz duck canvas, its a home from home.

If the weight wasnt an issue, Id Get the classic shape:

If you get in touch with Frost River, they will make you a bill mason campfire tent to order.

I just bought the Marmot Limelight 3P, and it arrived today.
This weekend I will be setting it up a couple of times and see how it goes

Reason fro choosing this tent is that it has good reviews, good brand behind it, and the particular choice of this tent is due to the improved design of the walls which provide so much more space increase compared to standard tents:
