Being someone who works for Halfords I find it funny watching you in a tent that I wouldn’t recommend, unless you are using it in summer when it’s dry, Halfords does sell some pretty good tents through the website but not in store. I do also have a Halfords tent that we have used an awful lot and it’s about 15 years old and still good, but it is a 4 man tent and better built. We do actually sell some good camping stuff but we do sell some pretty cheap stuff too. The headlight you used though is more designed for running so that you are visible hence the red light on the back. It is nice to see other people’s review for things that I personally don’t rate and their conclusions are pretty similar. Thanks Andy for the great videos.

Camping for two nights in Glen Coe tomorrow after a long drive up from Hereford with friends.

There's loads of things you can do to a cheap tent to make it more durable and water resistant, give it coat of fabsil, use a solid plastic tarp over it, buy bivvy T pegs instead of thin ones, get extra ground sheets to give more cushioning and to keep the floor dry.

Halfords is as Halfords does. As a Spring/Summer campsite camper, I have used Halfords in the past and will again although I have reservations. I bought the hanging light featured and yes, the switch is hard work but I switched it on and off infrequently and I got it on sale for £3. I use their camp bed which I bought on offer for £15 and is very comfy; heavy, but then I don't backpack. Cheers for the videos.

You're always a joy to watch Andy! Thank you for all you do 😊

This kit is just the job for a week or a weekend in the woodlands. The fewer times it is packed up and stored away the better. I would not give up my carefully curated kit for any part of this Halfords set.

I absolutely love Andy's channel for Relaxing before I sleep and the rain just makes it better.🏕 🌧

My personal pet-peeve with any tent is when the design forces you to have all the doors closed in order to keep even light rain from getting inside the tent. Sure it's fine to be all buckled down when its heavy rain and windy but when it's just raining straight down and not too extreme I want a tent that allows me to leave a door open.

We have Halfords in The Netherlands as well. Great shop

Yess!! I love ones where you got lots of rain, I feel a bit bad when you're outside haha, but once you're in the dry it sounds so peaceful!

Living in the US we have a few "Halford" style shops depending on where you live that mostly sell cheap tools, but I would have never thought to check them for camping gear other than a cheap tarp and hatchet or the like. Always love the recipes, you make it look so easy making curry or stir fry! I make a huge mess at home and my wife hates when I cook cause I don't clean up till we're done eating.

It’s amazing I got near enough the exact version of this tent when I went to Glastonbury in 2017. It was bright orange. Did the job but the condensation in the morning was a nightmare. Didn’t rain much though. Had an inflatable bed which did deflate every morning and gave up in the end. Used to sleeping on the ground but boy my back hurt after 5 days ha. I think I still have the tent somewhere in the cupboard.

Little bit of useless information about halfords history, started life as an ironmongers and it got it's name from the street where the first store opened in 1902. where it progressed from an ironmongers to selling bicycle parts.

Oooh, that dinner looks terrific. I love veggies. And so do those breakfast pastries. Too bad about the rain. Here in CA it seems cheap tents aren't good in rain and that's pretty much ok because since it rains so rarely here, we don't often camp when it rains. But also yes, slanted sides don't work in the rain since if you touch them, they leak.

I always enjoy watching you try out the more inexpensive gear, being in Australia we don't have many of the brands but they are comparable to what you can find here. I was very impressed in your ability to climb out of a small tent and into your boots with such grace😊

In all honesty I absolutely love every video thank you very much Andy for your time and information it really is very much appreciated 👍
