Well people name their boats and sometimes their cars, is anybody sad enough to give their tent a name? or is it just me  ::)

What have you named your tent then?

Do you use the same one all the time? and do the other tents ever get jealous because of this?? ;D

My favourite one is "Poppy" the red popup tent (Lichfield Yana), i use it for car camping when i know i'll be arriving in the dark.




Then there's "Rocky", a Gelert Rocky 2, only cost me £8 and i've done 5 summits in it



Others without names yet are the Vaude Taurus II (got it as i wanted something a bit lighter and sturdier for summmit camps)





The Family Tent




Old faithful, my first tent (about 24 years old)




Another Gelert bargain (£10) for a tornado 4 (for when I want to hide in the trees)



and a couple of others i've never actually used but they were bargains i couldn't resist  ::)

I have one tent that is Stan, because it's a Stan Evans canvas frame tent bought by my folks in 1974. Then I have Iccy, who is the Vango Icarus. We call the large quechua pop up The Egg because that's a pretty good description of it, and the Vango Dart 'The Coffin' because when you're trying to sleep in it, it's very claustrophobic.
