- Time of past OR future Camino
- First one in 2005 from Moissac, France.
Hi all ... so ... dark winter days and have been using this last week to prep for a Camino I hope to take this year (yep, decided, am going back, and with my S-Cargo trailer, not a pack!) .. but who knows when.
I don't want to get into the wild camping debate as this post isn't about that - I want to take a freestanding dome tent, one that can be put up where a tent cannot be pegged down. Plan is to use it whenever I can .. on refugio verandahs or their parking spaces, and gardens, etc, paying refugio price for facilities but sleeping outside - as few packed Covid bunk rooms as possible. Has to be light, under 2kgs, but big enough for me (I am 180cms, 70 inches long).
Anyone else planning to take a freestanding light tent to do the same?? (Has to be freestanding!).
I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to pay megabucks on a designer tent, lack the funds anyway - just a cheap one that does the job. This one has doors each side (double - mesh and closed) and was £18.95 delivered, about 25 us dollars, 35 Aus dollars .... and weighs 1.7 kilos, will be less when I take the pegs and guy ropes out. Probably has waterproofing similar to a hamster but will be going in summer.

what fun! Buen Camino!!!
