New to the market in 2005 and now improved for 2006. The best-selling Montana range takes the popular alloy poled tunnel tent (of the old Colorado range) and combines it with the all-in-one inner and sewn-in groundsheet of the Hartford range. Together, Outwell believes that customers can have the best of both Worlds in one new tent (this also shows a healthy lack of discrimination). The aim of Outwell's Sealed Ground System (posh for built-in inner tent) is to keep your inner sealed against dust, dirt, wind and mosquitoes. The tent is designed to be pitched all in one and so there should be no worrying about the inner getting wet (unless you are having a wet T shirt contest). The improvements for 2006 include a heavier gauge Outwell Power Pole System, a fully enclosed rain porch and a new universal 2+2 bedroom inner - providing the flexibility of 'dropping' one half of the inner if not in use. Most other features remain the same; a generous 2+2 bedroom inner sleeping up to 4 people, a large living area, a large front door plus 2 side doors and Vent-View System windows. Other features include: Outtex 5000 (5000mm hydrostatic head) Polyester flysheet with taped seams, breathable polyester inner tent; combination of 19mm and 22mm steel poles and 8mm Durawrap fiberglass poles; 2 porch poles; wheeled carry bag; Outwell doormat; detachable groundsheet for entrance way; internal pocket organizer; D shaped zipped inner doors with no see um mesh; adjustable pegging points; lamp holder and internal pockets; luminous guy ropes and zip pullers; heavy duty Outwell zips; low level lights and power lead entry point.
Advantages: Durable. Spacious. Easy to erect. Bright & airy. Disadvantages: None apart from being heavy (but it is a large tent!)
...introduce you to our holiday home - the Outwell Colorado 8 tent. (Don't confuse it with the Vango Colorado 8 which is a different tent)
STYLE
The Colorado is what is known as a tunneltent - because it is tunnel shaped. Tunneltents come in a variety of designs, usually with an entrance at one end, or on either side. Sometimes they even have all 3 options! The bedrooms are made up of an inner section with built in ground sheets and insect netting (a big plus point for me!) which hooks up to the outer section via a toggle system. Depending on the number of berths, the bedrooms are usually located at one, or both ends, with a large living area in the middle. The Colorado 8 (as it's name indicates) is an 8 berth tent. Family size tunneltents tend to have good headroom in the bedrooms and living area. Sun canopies can be bought...

Advantages: easy to put up, quality, size inside, price Disadvantages: size when stored, no porch.
...I already own 2 "normal" tents, but went on a 7 day bike race where i needed to put up and take down the tent 7 days in a row. I splashed out £45 for a "pop-up" tent. The thought of it errecting itself was very appealing!!
Sceptical at first, I popped the tent out of it's bag and pegged it down with 4 pegs.....job done......in about 60 seconds. I couldn't believe it could be so easy!!!! Once the tent is up it is like any other, with an inner and outer sheets (don't go for the cheap single skin ones). It has vent to help reduce condensation, although some did form, but then i've never been in a tent where there was no condensation!!!
The one I have is a 2 man version which accommodates 1 person + luggage with ease and would accommodate 2 people with some luggage.
This tent took on some heavy rain and wind in the 7 days i...

...Outwell Nevada XL Tent.
A new range for 2007 but we were very lucky to pick one up at knock down bargain price, Three times year our local camping stockists, put a show on, of there goods at our local Forest Park, and the tents that are on display, are available at the end, at a vastly reduced rate.
And we picked it up for £147.00. Including a few extra's.
It was nearing the end of the season for camping, as the weather was getting cooler etc, but see-in my brother and his family also purchased a bargain at the same time, we decided to shoot of the following weekend, for a week in Aberystwyth's Cerdigan Bay, or as we now fondly now it as Tornado Alley.
Considering we had never pitched this tent before, we found it quite easy to put up, Three equal length durable poles provide the frame of the main body, with another pole...

I came across Nora Roberts books purely by accident after getting one free in a goodie bag a couple of years ago. Since then, I've read and collected quite a few and Montana Sky is the latest one I've read.
Although I really like Nora Roberts as an more
When (if) you read the bible, you often come across characters that pop up only once, and are in the spotlight for a moment, and then disappear again... but you suspect they have more story to tell than is recorded. For example, the story of Joseph (and... more
