Hello, i'm new to the site and just after some information on purchasing a new tent.

So, i'm after a new tent.  I've had smaller stuff before and done a lot of wild camping, etc, etc.  But now after something on the larger scale for breaks away.  It needs to be big enough for me and my dog and possibly 1 more at times but also needs to be easy enough for one person to put up.  I'm wanting something that will be able to stand up to heavy winds just incase.

I have been looking at the outwell oregon 3 as seen it for a good price.

Money isn't really an issue for the budget but I just though this tent represented good value for money by the looks of it.

Any one any views or can any reccomend a tent which may suit.

Thanks in advance

greetings and welcome

have a look at this link

real people review real tents ...says it all.

i have owned aztec tents for years because they are very solid in winds and have a life time warranty.

hope this helps.

roll on easter.

erect solo (plenty of vids on 'You Tube'- wind permitting, so it will be entirely a matter of choice for you really.

Mantrachant!!! Do you bar yourself from browsing at "You Tube" when you have windy pops!! LOL!

Do you need a SIG to stop the dog from escaping?

Have you considered a bell tent or small frame tent? Both would be easy to erect single handed

Do you want standing height? Sitting height?

And I am ignoring mantrachants comments on erection and wind  lol

I must be able to sit on a chair in a seperate proch area and stand up but not fully.

Style of tent is no major concern as long as seperate area.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a SIG?

Thanks

A SIG is a sewn in groundsheet.

There is also a ZIG which is a zip in groundsheet

Then obviously a loose groundsheet

Hi, if quality is one of the main criteria, and the budget is not an issue, have a look at a Karsten Tent - Fantastic in high winds, easy to inflate and are at the top end of the market.
