Hi all!
as you can see from my post count - i'm still new to the site, and also new to bushcraft. i've been spending a great couple of weeks reading all the articles, reviews and posts, and a big thanks to everyone for all the info, and congrats to all for making such a brilliant site!
i'm usually a family camper - The Other Half + 4 younglings in a Royal Montpellier 12 tent, LR Discovery + trailer crammed with camp kitchens, tables, chairs, and god knows what else - i'm sure you can picture it.
however, i'm feeling the need for a different kind of weekend away that is a bit simpler!
i've been getting the basic kit together - knife, axe i had anyway, but i've got a little wood-burner from a recommendation, and a few other bits. as the thread title suggests, i would be grateful for any recommendations for a 1-2 man tent (The Other Half may want to come once in a while!). it has to be up to withstanding N.Wales/Lakes/Peaks weather for 3 seasons of the year, and the easier to pitch, the better (i have nightmares about pitching the 12 man thing!)
i don't need anything that you can pitch 1/2way up Everest in a storm, just a good value tent - i might buy a better one second-hand on ebay, so any recommendations welcome!
thanks
