Tesco 6 man tent

[whoRya]

Ok so I now own a 6 man tent too.  Missed out on the bag though  

Thanks for sharing the link.

You use 2 of them in the cold weather chuck am I right ? Do they pack down small? Could u post a link for them? Whats the coldest u have been out in them? Sorry for all the questions I've been drinking! Lol 

Sorry for not answering sooner, perhaps you already have yours (mine arrived this morning)

Yup, double up in the really cold (that goes for any sleeping bags...why blow a tonne of cash on a expensive bag just for really cold weather than you can use two cheaper ones) No idea about the minimum temperature, defiantly below freezing since I've had ice form on my bivvy bag on a couple of occasions. Only time I've woken up code was on Commedagh Summit when I pushed  my feet under the tarp during the night Because they are soo cheap I've no worry about ruining them by jumping straight into it with my walking trousers on if I'm desperate, just throw them in the washing machine when I get back home..

As for size, may I introduce the new international standard of 1pt milk carton and value spaghetti:

   

It's like a lot of cheap kit, it's never going to compete with the high end stuff (and if Santa's good to you and you buy the expensive stuff you probably wont want to go back), but in most cases it's "good enough".

HTH

cheers for the reply chuck, I didnt get my order in, will have to see if they are on offer in the future!

I ordered one of the tents for a guy on another forum, he's from the south and couldnt order it himself,just picked it up from tesco and it has holes in the fly(the box was damaged but the bag the tent was in wasn't....) just to let anyone that bought one know so they can check it thoroughly.

I'll be picking mine up tomorrow, I will make sure to check and report back.

My two sleeping bags arrived yesterday,quite surprised at how small they pack away,think i'll have to use both of them,but for a tenner you can't really argue

I took one of mine out to check it out. It sure is thin but then as you say pack really small

Either two needed for colder weather or just keep until summer  Must keep an eye out for a liner on offer now.

Edit: just found a fleece liner for £2; again at Tesco.

The reviews for the tent are very funny, what you expect for £25.

[whoRya]

Sleeping bags are back in, still under Chuck's original link.  I'm now upgraded to a 4 season sleeping bag system

[dean1970]

So funny, the sleeping bags £4.40.......... think you could use them to keep warm in bed, under your quilt.

Your all mad bargain hunters 

(I am only messing, please do not think I am attempting to be a kit snob)

I've got an old but warm army sleeping bag but it is certainly not compact 

I primarily got these bags for me and my son for next summer   I do like Chuck's use & abuse policy; makes perfect sense 

For the minute they'll stay in the boot of the car; just in case

2 lite bags and  liner for £12!!! pick them up 3 days later,, result!!!!!(wot with the pro action tent,its gonna be fun some time soon!!!)

Yep, i have one of those bags as well, takes up most of the room in my rucksack, so just ordered a new comfort sleeping bag and fleece liner, £7.20 in total and collect them on wednesday, nice to have a new bit of kit 

Cheers to all the forum members for mentioning these bargains.

I already have a microlight sleeping bag and its great, just ordered 2 comfort mummy bags and another micro, for less than £20 amazing value, I priced the comfort mummy bag in Bentrim rd last night it was over £25 in store.

[Rich.H]

Just for anyone still after the bags they have dropped the prices again. The mummy microlite is now 4.40, the mummy comfort is 5.20 and the fleece liner is now 2.00. Picked up all three using a tenner of clubcard vouchers and got change from a fiver, can't ask better really.
