Hi All,

You know? I keep looking at these wondering about them.

I might just need to buy one and see.
I don't do politics or religion. Seen to many people die because of these.

I post to contribute so take as you see fit. My way is not the only way.

Cheers

I've still got it and its still for sale BTW

The reason I'm letting it go is I'm trying to use either more tent (space for two people and a dog with a car full of gear on a campsite, for example) or less tent (solo and roughing it under a tarp)

If I was planning on hot-tenting anytime soon I'd keep it

I've seen them on Military mart.co.uk for £18. My partners family are staying at her grandparents this christmas and as space will be an issue we are going to camp in the garden i suggested one of these and she said no way :cry: personally i think they look rather snug, plus the dog will probably make its bed in there as well so warmth wouldnt be an issue.

we've been looking at low cost camping tents and apparently most arent as waterproof as the manufacturers say they are as they only designed for festivals and whatnot. A lavvu looks sturdy enought to take most of whats throw at it.

You, the wife and the dog!

To be honest, you would be spilling out of the sides.

im gonna start a tent thread, I dont want to hijack this as its about the lavvu specificaly. ;)

Unless i buy an extra poncho or two to make it longer, they only 8 pounds each at military mart and yes i think a tent thread would be a great idea.

I bought my lavvu from military mart. Yes it is a tad heavy and takes up a large portion of the weight in my pack but the quality is great and it is very roomy i'm only 5'8. Im looking to customise a ground sheet so it's circular and fits the inner circumfrence of the tent perfectly.
