Outdoors gear catalogues & cheap tents
The new Trail Magazine came through my letterbox today and almost went through the floorboards as well. Seems we're into the season of delivering a giant new catalogue with every issue of the magazine. And of course we love looking through other people's catalogues to see what gear is coming onto the market this year. In particular, there are a lot of great looking tents. It's got me thinking that it's time to add some more tents to our range in the camping shop. Even though there's still a bit of snow on the hill, it really is time for camping to start in earnest. I was reading a book recently from an American climber who devoted a whole chapter to his economy dome tent and how it had survived trips to the Andes and all over the US, being flattened by wind and deluged by rain - it just goes to show that tent design these days is so advanced that even cheap tents will stand up to bad weather.
