I'd love a canvas tent ... can't afford it

Which tent you have and what it is made of is a matter of personal perferance.   Also everybody's need are different.    I find that when it is just the kids and me, we can manage with a much smaller set up, then if my useless husband comes.  
A family with kids will probably need a far bigger tent than a couple on a walking holiday.     Having started off in what was classed as a four man tent, after one very wet weekend, with two small kids and a bad tempered husband we bought a far bigger frame tent - that is when I fell in love with canvas over nylon, but saying that still have a nylon tent for if the kdis and I are going on a weekend break. 

I dislike SIGS, apart from inthe bedroom section, and that is more to do with keeping the bedding dry than anything else.       In the main living area I like grass.
