Despite his Landrover Defender being considerably larger than my Renault Capture I suspect that he'd probably need 2 Landrover Defender's to get all that kit there.
The item that most impressed me was the indoor gas fire pit, not only did it impress me it terrified me, shut the tent door and nod off and you die of carbon monoxide poisoning or the tent catches fire or both. Bringing an outdoor wood burning fire pit as well seems excessive.
He had rather a lot of lights both a paraffin pressure Tilley lamp and lots of battery electric lights, this was overkill yet he didn't seem to have brought a decent torch.
A large part of his tent was filled by a large inflatable sofa, yet he also had a comfortable camp chair, once again duplication of kit. The inflatable sofa filled a large space in the tent, if he'd left the sofa at home he could have used a smaller tent which would have been easier ti heat.
This tent doesn't have a porch area so he was cooking and eating inside the main tent, this brand new tent with it's white carpets is going to get pretty disgusting quite rapidly.
His huge tablet computer will use a large amount of power, he had a battery unit in the tent but even that won't last long if he intends to use the tablet for ambience, why would he want the tablet showing an ambient fire when he has a real fire in the tent? A nine inch tablet, a Kindle and a folding 20W solar panel is all you need.
He's got all this super amazing kit but he's forgotten to bring a cool box or fridge to keep fresh food in, doesn't he have milk, wine or beer?
The one thing I've never thought of taking camping is a mini wireless hair drier. He could have pumped up his toys with the compressor he inflated the tent with. He used the hair drier to dry his trainers but they'll get get the moment he steps out of the tent again. So once again he's duplicating his kit and carrying junk he doesn't need.
In conclusion, get a smaller tent, a smaller car and leave all the junk at home!

Enjoy the liveliness of the syntax.
