Well spent Sunday & Monday up in the loft sorting out all our excess camping equipment and getting it ready for Ebay. I knew I had too many tents but boy oh boy I didnt realise how much other camping equipment I had accumulated over the years and didnt use anymore.
7 Tents (not including the Holkham & Nevada M)
5 Side extensions/porches
3 Front extensions
3 front canopies
6 windbreaks
12 sleeping bags
9 carpets
+ various other items
All adds up to a tidy sum on Ebay at least enough for another tent methinks

Hi Caz
Started some 40 odd years ago but this is all stuff collected over the last 10 years all in an attempt to find the right gear. If I gave OH the money I probably wouldnt see her again

Ah now if you are anything like me you have:

a) Been camping for a long time
and b) Find it hard to part with anything

This means that when you replace or upgrade a piece of kit you dont get rid of the old one. Then sometimes you leave something at home and have to buy new while you are away. Or a new version of something comes out and you are tempted. And so it goes on. Meanwhile your stash of camping stuff just grows and grows.

I dont know how many airbeds/campbeds and sleeping bags we have but there are lots. I do know we have 6 tents, two kitchen tents, a day room, a toilet tent and a tarp. I also know that our large hall cupboard is full to the brim with camping stuff.

On the plus side if we want to take the kids friends or family members with us we have enough camping stuff to share!

What is it with holding on to stuff??? We have nowhere near the stuff that the OP has, and even believe we have found the right tent for us for a few years, so with that in mind why are we hanging on to a Diablo 600 and Outwell Cougar Lake? I know we should sell them but.........
