Well I did it - bought my fourth tent...
I waited til youngest daughter was in bed, and oldest is at a festival, then I secretely opened the laptop and found a very cheap offer for an Easy Camp Macaw Green Tipi I couldn't resist... I can fetch it on Saturday or Manday!
Tomorrow I will have the discussion with youngest daughter about not buying Reebok boots for her, but some cheap nameless ones! But I have a very good reason (I think): On our England tour we will have a 2 night's stay in the start, and I was not looking forward to putting up the big Montana 6 and taking it down after so short time, specially if it is raining. The Tipi weighs only about 4 kg and packs in a very little bag, and I think we can manage 2 nights with less space.
Of course I don't expect extraordinary quality, so fingers crossed for calm weather. The entrance is exposed to the rain, but I will rigg up a tarp.
I hope to do some alterations before we leave for UK,I am not sure if there is a mesh door, and I will sew in a window in the door - did this in my nylon bell tent, and it is nice and rainproof. I get claustrophobic in tents without windows!
I think on tuesday I need a test night on our favourite local camp site, my garden is so tiny that there isn't space vor even the tiniest tipi!

Hi pingvin,
I have the same one, and will be using it saturday for the first time. I can confirm, that it has a fly screen, and the door zips closed to keep everything out. After a very quick pitch, I can say that it does look OK. The HH is minimum, but as it has steep sides, I can't see this being a problem.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.
