New Tent

After spending my time sleeping in bivy sacks on my climbing trips, I finally decided to get myself a cheap-but-good tent for regular short climbs.

It’s a 7×7 foot Swiss Gear three-person, three-season dome tent. I do need to get some soft-shell spray-on to waterproof the tent before I take it out.

And the moment I got back home from work, I couldn’t resist putting it together to see what it looks like and snap up a couple of pictures. So far, I’m impressed, especially considering the price that I paid for it!

And oh, it looks a tad weird because I put it together on the concrete. So, the tent could not stretch out on the floor (which would have been possible on the ground by driving stakes through the base). But despite that, it seems to be a pretty good investment.

I’m a happy camper! :D
