[QUOTE="David, post: 986850, member: 426"] Thanks Jeff - to me, putting up a tent on a verandah or concrete parking space or maybe in a garden isn't "real camping" ... if all went pear I could just step inside the building or into the doorway of a shop :D. Though think you and Renshaw are right - will take some pegs. I am expecting it to be poorly made so will be waterproof spraying it as Chinacat suggested - I do that with all 'waterproof' items I buy and a fab idea to carry chopsticks! I repaired an upright piano with a chopstick once. A key had broken, took it all out and cut and sanded the chopstick to size, glued it in - voila! sorted! I looked at all sorts of options but freestanding of good quality that are also under 2kilos are pretty rare. I also looked at bivvy bag videos but decided they were just a little too restricted for me - not as supple and agile as I once was. I almost went for this tent but decided to go cheaper (could be my biggest mistake so far as is £65 vs my £19 which in the scheme of things isn't that much difference!!) - [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08MTM75GT/?tag=casaivar-21[/URL] I have my Snugpak jungle bag (my favourite bag) at 900gms, box shaped so roomy too and can be opened out completely. They are now £20 more expensive than when I bought mine - [URL]https://www.snugpak.com/jungle-bag[/URL] and after looking at various sleeping pad options I bought the Alpkit Cloud Base inflatable sleeping mat as it has stunning reviews, weighs 420gms, packs down to small bottle size - plus the drybag air pump so it doesn't go mouldy inside. [URL unfurl="true"]https://alpkit.com/products/cloud-base[/URL] I wouldn't be doing any of this if I was using a rucksack, but with a trailer it is very different and not a problem to carry some extra kilos. Tent, mat, bag, will be just over 3 kilos in all. - [/QUOTE]
