G'day GEG
You seem to have some problem with Oztents for some reason.
I'm sure Willem will get back to you with his own version of why he likes his Oztent but I'll give you
mine as a Oztent owner.
They are, as advertised but not in such laymans terms, "an absolute piece of pish to use". They come in a bag that they actually fit back into,plus groundsheet and assorted bits. It sits nicely on my roofrack and when I want to use it, it does actually takes about 3 minutes to set the tent, roll out my bedding, peg the awning and be finnished pish farting around with
camp. As you might have gathered I'm not realy into tenting perse' and
mine was brought for its speed and versatility for those times that tenting is the last viable option for me to be where I want to go.
It is one of the few products I have purchased over the past few years that actually lives up to its advertising without doubt. Is it worth the outlay, for me yes because it is a quality product that actually does what it is suppose to do and lets me do what I have gone to some remote place to do, not fiddle fart around putting up a bloody tent.
Don't know what sort of tent you use but you are obviously happy with it and thats a good thing because it's your tent and you have to live with it.
Lucky thing, individual choice.
Same thing with Willem wanting to spend $10 rather than $50 + fixing his tent. His choice and from my point of view a sensible one and as an Oztent owner one I will file away for future reference cause like Willem I would rather have $40 in my pocket to go somewhere rather than spend it when there was no need to.
And if you don't get it, you don't get it. Mr Oztent never said you had to get it!
Happy Travelling
Cheers
Wal
