    I was looking at the 2011 model yesterday. It's quite stealthy, apart from the big Gelert logo on the top. Also it's still not that big lengthways. Maybe we'll have to wait for the 2012 model.
    Do you want to be happy or do you want to be normal?

    Ok my bushcrafting buddies, here's the plan. I have a budget of about £80. I want to get a lightweight tent that will 'house' me and my 70 litre rucksack (A 2 person tent is OK). It'll need to be useable all year round and be able to deal with a bit of wind and plenty of rain. Easy to put up and pack too (certain people are laughing as they read this - stop!) Does anyone have any recommendations? No, Ben I'm not going to Aldi!

    The vango banshee 200 is fairly spacious. And it costs around £80. Never used one though so you might have to look at some reviews.

    Have a look at this thread including my opinions on the Banshee that I use.

    Oh, and in relation to the budget, you would need to look at second hand versions as new ones are about £120

    Or run over to Glastonbury when it's ended and pick up all the left over tents.

    But choose carefully you just don't know what might have been going on in those tents!
