True, I could get a Vango, however I do not like the design that much and already have several synthetic shell tents, this time I wanted to try something different and that was spark proof. Like many members here I don't mind faffing about with a needle and thread to make a piece of equipment meet my needs, (or more accurately my wants
) and to be brutally honest, I tend to jump on equipment bandwagons when people start raving about them or against them, and purchase or make them to shape my own opinions, mora knives, Swedish Trangia mess kits, even Bear Grylls Gerber knives (I only have the compact one, I handled the large one and decided I preferred my Fallkniven S1).
This in no way should be considered a tirade against the opinions offered since I posted, people choose equipment that fulfils a need either practical or psychological, some others may comment positively about that equipment when opinions and advice are sought, others negatively, all comments based either on experience or bias. I am thankful for both the positive and negative comments offered as they help me decide how and what to do with the equipment I either have or am looking at trying in the future.
On that note, the seller replied to email and offered a €3 discount, which I have accepted, however those who look to purchase from them in the future should be aware that the translated advert which states "as new" with regards to the sheets may be inaccurate. I don't know if I can or should mention the seller by name here, just suffice to say that the advert has the heading "Zelt, Poln, Armeezelt, 2-Mann-Zelt, oliv, Kinderzelt".
