**Tuckerisgreat** · 11th August 2003

again i didnt know where to stick this so if it has to be moved would a mod be generous to move it

-------------------

i wanna tent (maybe sleeping bag but i got 1)
and a little gas stove with a few little pots the cheapest ive seen is in argos sommin like �24.99 for a 2 man tent then another �25.99 for a gas stove and a few extra gas canisters :/ pretty cheap i know but is their any cheaper? i mean i dont really need a 2 man tent only 1 that should be in the region of �15 maybe? and a gas stove their must be cheaper ones anyway anyone know any places that will do this stuff cheap?

a cheaper alternative for cooking would be a solid fuel stove from a camping store, they fold up like a brick when not in use (about the size of 4 stacked cd cases) cost is around �5 for the stove and about another �3 for some extra fuel sticks.

they do smell a bit in use but at least they are waterproof.

its probably also worth taking a few of those self heating cans of coffee with you.

Asda are selling tents for next to nothing... (about a tenner I think) or at least were doing about a month back. Makro sold cheap ones about �13 last time I went aswell.

I've taken an old tent for the last 3 years to the festivals and still it aint been destroyed... lets see how it lasts this year!

Only a week of work left until the best weekend of the year!
