Guest Fluke Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I had a go putting up my 'pop up' 4 man decathlon tent this afternoon just to make sure everything was there etc. It was pretty easy as expected. Pulling it down again and getting it to fit in the little bag? No frackin chance! After an hour of struggling and at one stage it accidently popping back up into my wifes face I gave up and chucked it in the shed! So when your on your way to EMS1 and you see a car with a half popped up tent in the back - that'll be me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I feel your pain Dan, I have a Kyham quick set up tent, it does just what it says on the tin and I can be set up and sitting sipping a brew in it in about 15 - 20 minutes but getting that thing back in its nag is like wrestling with a half inflated zeppelin/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cazz Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 We bought one to use as a small awning for the camper a few years ago, that now lives out of the bag as well. We have mastered folding it up though, it now takes less than an hour lol. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided gonna bring normal tent for EMS, not going through that again, ever Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I remember earlier in the year watching a friend wrestling with a one man pop up tent, needless to say it ended very John Cleese style, never to be seen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
