asda selling 2 man tents just £10, 3 man tents just £20, and they are doing some offer - 2 man tent , 2 sleeping bags, 2 chairs for £34 i think
got to be a bargain

Just exactly how many Men do you want in your tent??? And how comfy do you want them to be?
We bought a 6 berth vis a vis 2 room tent from tesco for 65 quid ish (it was on special) and there is loads of room for me mrs and 2 girls aged 7 & 9
just check how waterproof they are (static head measurement) if its rains more than a light shower you may find the asda tent isn't very waterproof.

Deduct at least 1 from the number a tent will sleep.
A 2 man tent will just about get two skinny short ass types in it, with very little or no room for any kit.
Trying to get your kit off in a very small space whilst not trying to wave bits of your anatomy in your mates face, is difficult to say the least.
Advice is to buy a 3 man tent as a minimum. I paid £40 for mine.
When it rains, you want to be able to keep away from touching the sides or its starts to leak. Again SIZE COUNTS
Too small a tent, and you touch the walls, and you get a wet head, feet and worse still a wet sleeping bag.
When you get a lot of condensation it will rub off onto your head and feet if the tent is too small.
You need the room to swing your cat around
So get a 2 man tent as a minimum for a single person.
Personally speaking mines a 3 man tent, but then I'm a Bat F'Stard (Why else would I love my Viento )
A blanket underneath is worth two on top.
Better still, an Airbed gives you 3-4" of Insulating air under you, and is comfortable. Cheap ones from Tesco. Dont forget a pump, although
someone will probably have one.
get an electric pump for your airbed - 2 minutes noise for a comfortable nights sleep over any small dips / stones / lumps.
Defo agree on the size thing - i usually sleep in a 3 man tent on my own or cuddled up with a g/f. Once tried sleeping 4 in a three man tent ..... we
where good mates before we tried, we've never tried since!

Take this mans advice!!! I got a 3 man tent for this exact reason!
. Plenty powerful enough though
we used to have to squeeze 3 lads into a 3 berth tent when I was in scouts and it is a squeeze even tho we were all skinny teens.
This is why I went for a 2 room 6 berth 3 people per room plenty space for 2 wouldnt like to try 3 in there
I used one of tesco's 2 man tents at Stoneliegh. I have just gone out and bought another tent to use at Newark. I bought it from Argos, 4 man
tent on offer at the mo at £25 with change.
Linky
Had it up in the garden, much better tent than tesco's cheepie.
My little Pro Action tent has been good value for money , cost £20.00 5 or 6 years ago , only expected to use it once
Doubt I would get one that size in my car with the rest of my gear!
