Hi Scot
Nice tent....you could have saved money and just used an Icelandic 2! Where is the picture taken, camping next to a loch? I'm looking for a camp site close to see water for the Zodiac badge! cheers Richard |

Quite right - we have a plenty of Icelandic tents in our Scout Group but can be a bit drafty for family camping! In hind site we probably could have got away with the next size down (Taskforce 3).
The top picture by the loch is Caolasnacon Caravan & Camping Park near Kinlochleven. The bottom picture is Spey Bay Golf Club Campsite which is a great little site on the beach. Both let you have fires but only on the beach at Spey Bay. Will have to try and get my Explorers to have a go at the Zodiac badge too. |

Hi Catherine, Just came across this thread & I have been an OzTent convert for about 8 years. For family trips, wife dog & me it is just the RV5, with side & front panels, and a queen size Aerobed. Very comfortable setup. But when I take my very old Defender away with a bunch of equally old friends I have tried several set ups:
[URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL] The above was OzTent & Malamoo as a trial. When the cyclonic weather came in, I had to pack the OzTent away, & tether the Malamoo to some star pickets. It was a rough night but I stayed dry, the Malamoo is one of those pop up tents & is great, but packing away sometimes can be a challenge: [URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL] Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |

Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Hi, we replaced a rather disappointing Vaude tent with a Nordisk, which is made from a technical cotton, it's been amazing and I couldn't recommend it enough! We also have a tarp for the front but annoyingly I can't find an image of it. The tent took a real battering from the North Atlantic weather and it coped very well indeed! Cheers, Leon.

Thanks for that JOW. If the weather is really good & not too many insects then my all time favourite is just a stretcher under an awning: [URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL] I have seen more shooting stars with this set up than any other.

Click image to enlarge This is our latest set up,James Baroud & Foxwing,I also have the side extensions but not in this pic. We can't fault it.It even has a little solar powered fan that you can use to vent condensation or reverse it for cool air ventilation. Marc |
