Well, you can't deny he has a feeling for business and marketing.....

Here's a pic of my buddy's tarp setup with a couple of canoe paddles for tarp poles

To see the image in context with his review of the True North tarp:

Sorry, posted in wrong thread! Will delete if I can, now where's that emoticon for blushing!

 

[hiho]

I'm still pondering whether to get one or not....

Yep me too just "discovered" them and really fancy one for the winter in instead of getting a hammock under blanket plus you can cook in them maybe build an ammo box stove or use my ikea hobo stove in the door way.anyone got a cheap one?found them online for £23 delivered online

Probably not the best time to mention this as I'm about to bugger off to Canada for a couple of weeks but, I'm in talks with a dealer who can supply 10 complete tents for just under £160. I don't mind getting them in if there's any interest but you'll have to choose your preferred postage on top of that, I'm happy to meet up with local folk if it helps.

I think they average around 3.5 to 4kgs so whether it can be done for less than those already available at £25 I don't know.

I'll pick it up again on my return but maybe add your name here if you're interested and I'll see what we can do.

Have you got a link for those at £23 Andy ?

I'd still fancy getting one of these myself. After i posted earlier in the thread, I did order one from the ebay seller linked to in previous posts...

Well, to cut a long story short, the wonderful Royal Mail managed to initially lose the parcel, then send it to the wrong sorting office, then back to Poland, without ever getting it within 5 miles of my front door. When I tried to find out *** thay had been playing at, they fobbed me off with some story about the parcel not having had a proper delivery address on it, so they'd "returned it to sender". I contacted the sender in Poland who emailed me photos of the parcel, as returned to him, with my address written clearly on it in marker pen in two different places. He said the parcel looked like someone had been playing football with it, by the time it arrived back with him. Needless to say I didnae get a penny back off the Royal Mail, either.

So, yeah, if anyone turns up a new source of these, I'd still like to try and get my paws on one.

I saw those last night on ebay when I was looking, I think that's the guy I got my original one off. They've knocked the postage down to £6.50 so they're £30 all in, that's still a good price for what they are I reckon.

I'll see what's happening when I get back and start a new thread if there's enough interest.

 

[andyc54]

just looked on ebay aswell and its the same company but different postage prices very strange

it looks like 3 people already so i don't think you'll have any probs getting rid of 10

are you coming upto brockwell in september with chris ?

Just bought one for £24 inc p&p Cant wait to get it and try out the tripod thingy!

 

[BigMonster]

If you can wait 2-3 months I can organize a group buy as I'm going home for 2 weeks (yes, I'm from poland). Price shouldn't go beyond 15 quid mark for one and something like 25 for two (you need two for a "full" tent).
as I will be going there by car I can bring as many as you need

 

[Queeny]

Just realised...Ive had mine up for three days INSIDE OUT with the pocket buttons on the inside and the extra shoulder fabric on the outside :/ only leaked in along the neck corded lines Very pleased indeed!
