In desperate need of a quick pitch/easy erect/pop up tent for 5/6 people in the uk.
Can anyone send me a link? I have tried and failed to find any and desperately need one. Price is not an issue.
THANK YOU! :D
Answer
It would be best to visit a local camping / outdoors shop, preferably a large one with the space to pitch some of the tents. The following chains have shops, and also online sales:
Tiso:
http://www.tiso.com
Blacks:
http://www.blacks.co.uk
Millets:
http://www.millets.co.uk
You can also find tents in general retailers, but you won't see them pitched or get advice.
Tesco:
http://direct.tesco.com/
Argos:

hi me, my dad, and my sister are going camping for a weekend. we have never done it before, so we do not know what to take or what size tent we need. we saw one on the online Argos store, here is the link for it: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3409244/Trail/searchtext%3ETENTS.htm does anyone think it is any good? i would like a list of everything we need, including the tent, maybe the one from Argos things like bedding, beds, stoves, sleeping bags, all the stuff. thanks.
Answer
as an eagle scout i did a lot of camping in various types of weather here is what you need:
tent
backpack (you will be able to fit almost everything in one as opposed to suitcases; needs to be at least 4800 cubic inches)
a backpacking stove
eating utensils (such as metal pots and pans and cutlery this will make for easy cleanup)
as much food as necessary for the trip
clothing for the season
a Global Positioning System (get one in the range of about 300 to 400. they are good and some can float on water)
lots of water
a means of communication ( such as a cell phone)
a map and compass (if you re not careful the batteries in the gps will run out)
toiletries ( such as a toothbrush)
a shovel to dig your latrine
a flashlight
a watch
Extra Batteries
rain gear for everyone in your group
highly reflective blanket
fire starters
wood (if you're going to a campsite; If not you can just collect some in the woods)
matches or another way of starting a fire
let someone know where you re going and when you re expecting to be back so they know when to send for help if necessary
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST TAKE ANOTHER RESPONSIBLE ADULT. YOU MUST HAVE A BUDDY BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AND/OR YOUR INJURIES !!!! YOU'RE CHILDREN WILL NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO
