Have a look on the canvas tent shop, and the bell tent boutique websites mate, there's the green arctic military canvas ones aswell, they're bigger and more costly bushwhacker man on YouTube has one, you can get an internal liner for winter use

just got myself a 2007 ford galaxy ghia that were planning to do a tour or scotland in ... looking for a little solar set up for it  something that`ll sit on the dash maybe . 

Windscreens filter out a lot of uv so the solar panel doesn't work as well. And there is no sun in Scotland anyway.

A bit off subject but I'm in the market for a decent family tent, a 5 man or similar size. 

Been looking at the air tents and the canvas bell tents but I don't have a clue which would be better. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Use this for when full family go camping it has 4 bedrooms but can remove bedroom dividers.got big living area goes up in 10mins sturdy not a bad price. Been out in wind and rain no problems

You’ve all forgotten the 2 most important items ….. a map and compass and the knowledge of how to use them. 

I'm afraid that's a skill beyond most these days

I have two tunnel tents a Helsport Nordmarka 2 I use then I am hiking alone and a Bergans Compact Light 3 I use for 2-3persons or alone during the winter and then I am camping from the car.

The trouble with threads about survival  wild camping and the like is that they always end up the same; a discussion on what to buy. Its all about buying, never about how to do it.

Can get things like this depending on how minimal you want to go..

The Stratosphere from Snugpak is a one-man bivvy shelter, though calling it a one-man tent would be more appropriate...

Some say we're a nation of shopkeepers

I say pasties, real ale, a good fire, and wool, the tent can look after itself

These canvas swags are canny bits of kit, not for carrying too far though

Iv an old French or Dutch canvas ridge tent 3 man i think it is got if from a landrover show about 15 years ago for £10 brand new , its been a grate tent heavy tho , leaked loads first time I used it n I nearly put it in the bin un till I was told the canvas needs to get wet to be come water proof,

Some of you lads must be taking a wheel barrow with you, or not venture far from the truck  

Personally I like a little cycling one man tent, tiny, light weight and warm. Usually take two lightweight plastic sheets to, one for above and one below, that way your kit outside the tent also stays dry etc.
