I know I've asked this already but it got missed...Surely it will be very cold in there due to there being no ground sheet?

It'll be warmer than tarp and bivi. Especially with a fire in front.

Ive got ideas for a stove inside, made from a small ammo box, and a mini chimney, for when car camping. ;)

I've done mine with Thomsons water seal as suggested by Gill.

Water is beading off nicely.

packed to 15" x 5" at present.
 
I use Thomsons waterseal alot on my gear and I'll give you a wee tip.

Get an old plastic bucket and fill it with waterseal, then soak your garment in it for at least an hour making sure you stir and turn it over to get in all the creases etc, wring it out over the bucket and drip dry on a washing line, then once dry repeat the whole procedure once again. You'll find you'll use an aweful lot of the thomsons waterseal up but it really does the business. I've done everything from tents to poncho's and jackets in the stuff!

was that five days after order or five days after dispatch? mine was dispatched on Saturday...wonder when it will arrive :bluThinki

Has yours arrived yet? ordered mine Saturday evening, and picked it up from the post office today - they did try to deliver it yesterday but we were both out at work, which is just as well really, seen as the mrs don't know anything about it! think i will wrap it up and put it under the tree for christmas, from our two year old daughter of course :)

You only need to order one - it comes packaged with both halves and two sets of poles and pegs, all you need to make the tent with.
