the poles.

or more accurately, where the poles should be.

and they are not inflatable in the "squishy" sense.

they take 7psi and end up like concrete.

in the third pic, its the dark tubes running across the tent

so technically its a poleless tent i suppose

i wish, one was looking after the horse and the other one mysteriously took ages to get back from the ice cream van.

to be fair, it wasnt hard work, the pump was a dual action so pumped on the up stroke as well as the down stroke and it only took about 15 pumps for each "pole"

all you do is peg the for corners out and pump...

once up, put the rest of the pegs in and guy rope it out.

you can get a two stage leccy pump, but its that easy i wouldnt bother...



its sodding huge in the bag though.....

It may be poleless, but once Calais reopens leave it unattended for more than 5 minutes and it'll be full of Romanians/Libyans/Somalis...

You could get a few yaks in that tent too!
