I’m going to need a new, 1 man tent for hiking and wild camping in August UK. I have a tarp but don’t use trecking poles so have found it pretty useless in the past. My budget is non existent so I was going to start with Decathlon. I do want something light/small as I’ll use this tent on the bike and have larger tents already.

Any thoughts or insights? Anywhere other than Decathlon with a good option?

Are you still open to using a tarp tho? If you are, substitute poles will be cheaper and better than buying a heavy tent from Decathlon.

Possibly. I think I will get one of these poles and do a test runs. It’ll be fun and I’ll learn things even if I don’t get sleep :)
