I think I have found my best tent!

Another car boot buy, this time £15.

Any ways to improve it? This one Im going to keep!

The only mod I would make is to attach a clingon or something similar to the back face (Where your head would be) on the outer skin as mine does not sit very taght and can cause condensation in the rain when the inner and the outer skins touch and due to the low head tight this can lead to wet hair :( Other than that it's a tent I really like and that's a great price!

In the woods if possible.
I wouldn't worry about improving it, but like many lightweight tents the groundsheet is on the thin side. I often take a spare tarp, groundsheet, or just big sheet of polythene to put under it, as bit of protection from any sharp objects I might have missed when I check the ground over before pitching.

That was a steal at fifteen quid!

What a bargain:wow1: Congrats goodjob

I only ever find VHS and cassettes at the car boots :rolleyes:

I have the Banshee 300; it's a great lightweight tent.

The 200 will be very comfy for one :D

I have a Banshee 200 and at just under 6' I find it a little on the short side. Apart from that I love it. The only mod I've made is to put loops of accessory cord on the base of the door instead of the bungee ones (the steel ferrule broke). Apart from that, spot on!
