Scorpion tank tent .

Some of you out there will have slept in one but I gather they are getting a bit on the rare side .
Anyway I just spotted on for sale on Gumtree in Edinburgh http://m.gumtree.com/p/tents/cvrt-scorpion-crew-tent-with-poles/1076332853 and I was wondering if at £70 it was worth a punt as I reckon it would make a cracking campfire tent , sort of along the lines of a baker tent .

Looks really nice. I wonder how much it weighs? I've seen one website that suggests it's under 10kg which would be pretty decent.

I also found this place:

...which sells them.

You tube vids of someone setting one up here. Looks like a useful bit of kit!

Ok so I went and picked it up today , came in an army kit bag that it fills 20kg .
It came with 2 wooden poles for the front which I will change , and 3 short poles for the low back wall .
once we get a couple of dry days I'll get it opened up properly and sort out some new poles pegs and guys .
