I am a belts and braces guy.
I set up camp on one occasion on a perfect summer's eve. I woke up to wind and torrential rain and hearing the plight of campers who had camped 50 meters upstream. Their tent had collapsed and were in a right state. They spent the night in my tent and sorted out the mess in the morning.
My Terra Nova Voyager, although expensive, shrugged it off. There was no warning of the storm that we were aware of and in the morning it was as peaceful as a baby again...
I love overengineering - especially in certain things.
Having said that, there is a certain joy in just getting a shitty old beater tent and not worrying about whether it will get spoiled or stolen.
