In this video, I will be going through my current tent choices for bushcraft, canoe camping, car camping, backpacking and bike packing.

These tents vary hugely in style, size, weight, material and suitability for particular activities - some are very heavy, but robust and will last a lifetime, others are very light, easily carried, but at the expense of durability, whilst others are strong, yet still light.

I will be going through the tents that I own and currently use and will discuss the merits and downsides of each one in turn. There are a huge number of tents available commercially and they vary massively in quality and cost. This selection of tents is simply my own personal choice.

I hope you enjoy the video.

Thanks for watching!
