Hello everybody, haven't posted on here for a long time, hubby and I seperated and while he still takes kids camping I wasn't brave enough to go on my own with kids
Anyway now I have a new partner and he's not really feeling the camping thing, so I'm trying to big it up as best I can, looking for a new ten, I have always had outwell tents and will probably stick with them, thinking maybe Montana or would love a bear lake but not sure if it might be too heavy and bulky

Hi Ste+em

Having had most of the outwell polycotton tents I would highly recommend the bear lake 6.
It was the first tent we ever owned and loved it.
We sold it as we outgrew it and bought a wolf lake 7 but this was really hard work when erecting.

I for one would go for the bear lake.

Just to help with the decision I found this price on the Trout Lake 4. I just bought the Nevada MP but possibly would have purchased this if it would have been at this price.

Do remember that you can input the code EXTRA50OFF to get the price down to £450 (just add something over 1 pence to get to £500

The Bear Lake does look a great tent though. Trout

Hiya

Hope you manage to persuade him!! I'm in a similair position with my new partner, she's kind of into the idea but just needs a bit more of a push lol

Maybe we should gang up on them???

Have you considered the Outwell Concordes? The 2014 M weighs less than 30kg and if you get a decent pump your partner can sit in the car and watch it put itself up. Great for single-handed pitching and striking, even when you're being helped by small children.
