Does your missus have an only fr-a-nds? Could pay for all that new gear. Or you could go to popular campsites and zip tie other campers’ tents when they’re asleep and then offer to cut them off in the morning for a small fee. Works only once per...

Tents are for amateurs, get a luxury Yurt. But in more serious advice, Hellinox do some fantastic lightweight easy to accessories. If you register with them you’ll get notice of their sales which when to buy. Took a couple of the Chair 2s in my...
