LOL, what a dangerous question...

lets see, from biggest to smallest:

- Conway Crusader (6 berth folding camper - still sort of a tent!)
- Nigor Wickiup 6 (super-light big tent)
- Quechua Seconds selection (big pop-ups, sadly discontinued):
- Base XL (living room)
- Base 4.2 (4 Berth)
- Base 4.1 (3-4 berth different config)
- Base full (hub tent, also has inner to sleep 3-4)
- Seconds XL (smaller 3-4 berth)
- Nigor Wickiup 4 (spacious backpacking tent for 3, or workable for 4)
- Flames Creed Lanshan 2 (Chinese Ultralight 2 berth bargain favourite)
- Dan Durston / Drop Xmid 1 (great UL 1 man backpacking tent)
- Flames Creed faux-trailstar (Chinese knockoff of popular tarp shelter)
- Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape & Serenity Nettent (ultralight poncho/tent combo)

And then a handful of old cheapy ones that I lend out to friends for festivals & whatnot when I don't trust they'll be treated well.

Seems a bit much, but they do all have their purposes, & all of them have seen use at least once in the last couple of years, (bar the Xmid which is a recent acquisition). Don't think I'll be adding any more for a while (though I always say that, and the Xmid 2p is out soon! )

I rather enjoy the fact that my biggest 'tent' weighs approximately 1000 times more than my smallest!

Quite a contrast to me then Bazpoint.

I have one, and that hasn't been used for camping since the 1970s. It's an old blue and orange frame tent and it normally resides up in my loft. I did get it down once in 2015 when I replaced my garden shed, and I used it to temporarily store loads of stuff out of the old shed while the new one was erected. Strangely enough it is still in remarkably good condition, or at least it was in 2015, seeing as it hadn't been out of its bag since round about 1976.
