[QUOTE="Jeff Crawley, post: 986847, member: 41083"] As we used to say to our girls: "You want to bring it? Then you've got to carry it. All the way!" I can see your reasoning but would advise you take at least one peg - it need only be a basic skewer type - because I've seen unpegged tents like that bowling across a breezy campsite like a Zorb ball. Otherwise some heavyish stones placed [I]inside[/I] the tent in the corners. Don't forget to take a decent sleep mat - those "yoga" mats aren't worth it and in normal times you'll see them dumped in refugio 'lost and found' boxes as people abandon them. And a decent sleeping bag of course, even in summer you can get some very chilly nights. Take a decent sleep mask too otherwise you'll be waking before dawn as the early morning rays light you up like a Chinese lantern. Keep an eye on those glass fibre ribs. The cheaper the tent the thinner the tube walls. They can split where they enter the ferrules (the shock cord is very thin and can cut through) or, worse still, the rib cracks as you bend it into place. Have seen them splinted with a chopstick and some heavy duty duct tape (Gorilla or Rhino) which will work in a pinch. Don't tread on them, they're not crushproof. Personally, for what you need, I would have gone for a British Army surplus gore-tex bivvy bag at not much extra cost. Be that as it may, good luck and BC! [/QUOTE]
