MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just got my new family tent delivered. 52.5 kilos 8O... Not going to be much fun getting that into the loft! Fortunately its split into 2 bags (poles and fabric).
I got tent envy and sold the Vango 400 4 person tent for a monster Outwell Vermont 6 person tent. There are 3 of us.
So is N+3 acceptable 😳
tent envy?

Not if it doesn't have a woodburner
I did have four, now down to 3, not that I use any of them regularly:
1. Car Camping tent - 4 person (used for MM etc)
2. TNF VE25 2/3 man 4 season tent, been used for Camping in Cairngorms in winter etc for climbing
3. Macpac Minaret - 2 man back backing tent, been used for camping in Lakes in winter
4. MacPac Microlight - 1/2 man used for KIMM etc sold on STW
Is it N+3 as in N is the 3 of you and the +3 is the extra people you could theoretically have with you in the tent?
I reckon it should be Nx2 (which is the same in your case).
i.e.
1 person = 2 person tent
2 persons = 4 person tent
3 persons = 6 person tent
etc.
This doesn't apply to me as its 4+ dog in a 5 person tent.
I therefore need a bigger tent...
N+1 tents is a thing. I own:
1. Lightweight 1-man tent
2. Lightweight 1-man tarptent (tarp and bathtub floor)
3. Lightweight 2to3-man tarp
4. 2-man car-camping tent (not really used now)
edit: 5. 1-man car-camping tent (not really used now)
I have a 2p mountain tent, a light 4p one for family camping and I would have a big family one except I have a caravan which is far better 🙂
May get a super light 1p job in the future. I also have a 3m2 tarp and a 5m2 tarp to use with the 4p tent.
Ah yes, Nx2 should be the formula. We fit perfectly into that cat 🙂
I meant size of tent, not number of tents, although I do own 3 tents, well 4 if you count my boys Lightning McQueen play tent!
2 people and dog:
1 x 4 person vis-vis basecamp for car camping (double + living + storage)
1 x 2 person mountain tent for short trip/get up and go car camping (or splitting load between two packs for backpacking/bikepacking)
1 x 1-2 person lightweight tent for solo ackpacking and bikepacking (with microtarp annexe)
I have 5 😳
Please don't start a thread on rucksacks 😯
I've got 4, had 5 till my son destroyed one at t in the park :).
Very large family tent that we would only use for week long camping.
Largish family tent for weekends
3 man low tunnel style tent for overnight car camping
North Face tadpole 2ish man tent for overnights
We're looking at a polycotton tent to replace 1&2 though.
N x 2 is right
In my 2person tent, the only place for the 2nd person is on top or underneath.
Please don't start a thread on rucksacks
or jackets...
