Camping is great stuff. This tent is heavy (being canvas), and a little on the pricey side, but we love it so much (it's a Lotus Belle 'Outback') :

That looks like something out of a science fiction movie.

It's a great tent. This location (Port Jackson, NZ) is notorious for high winds - we've had 2 other tents destroyed there in the past. This tent effortlessly endured winds stronger than those that ripped tents we had before, so even though it wasn't cheap, we consider it money well spent.

I gotta say, I belive you but it looks so weird. I mean, I know this isn't the 1950s anymore or anything, but when I think "tent" what I picture is your old fashioned pup tent.
