You need a quality four-season tent if you are preparing a BOB. You never know when disaster is going to strike, and if you’re banking on it hitting during the warmer months, you’re really throwing the dice. In many places, warm weather only comes four months a year. Those aren’t odds that are in your favor. I recommend your BOB including shelter that is substantial regardless of what season it is. Several unique features make this tent resistant to all weather camping. In-built mosquito nets are useful to keep bugs outside, and the outer layer of this tent is removable, which is a good option for keeping the interior temperature down on warm nights. For an easy setup and to keep the rain out, the groundsheet on this model is sewn in. With a 3000mm waterproof rating and taped seams, this tent can handle heavy rain, which is a must-have when you’re camping in the UK. Snugpak is a brand is synonymous with supplying the military, therefore you would expect quality and that is what you get! Like it’s big brother, the Scorpion 3, the Snugpak Scorpion 2 is well built using solid materials. On the down side of the vestibule is that it can only be unzipped from the bottom of the door. This is a bit of a reach and struggle in the middle of the night. That said, it’s a small down side to pay for a useful vestibule. Some of the vestibule configurations A Good Size – if your under 6ft!

In terms of structure, this tent has aluminium poles, an internal layer that clips on easily and then the option of adding a flysheet on top for protection from the elements. There are a few other great features about the Scorpion 2 that I liked as well. The color is a matte green rather than the gaudy neon colors that seem to be a requirement for most other tents on the market. This might matter more if you’re camping above tree line and want to be seen for safety purposes, but that’s not what you want if you’re bugging out. Strong fibreglass poles make this a hardy and reliable tent that should see you through many enjoyable camping trips. The Scorpion 2 tent from Snugpak is a sturdy 2-man tent that has been constructed to withstand harsh 4 season weather conditions. Either side open with the other side and central door closed – great for cooking when the rain is coming down.The tent is lightweight at 2.65kg all-in and the design conveniently allows the parts to be split up and carried by different people. Performance

You can have the central door open (either strapped at the top or held with poles to create a porch) – the normal configuration. Price – How much are you willing to spend? Depending on the tent features, size and weight, two person tents vary in price. With over 40 years of experience, UK outdoor experts Snugpak offer a high-quality range of tried and tested tents for use in the most challenging of conditions.This tent gives you a fourth option. It has flaps outside of the tent to form a vestibule where you can store your stuff. So, if you’ve been hiking through the rain all day and don’t like the idea of bringing muddy boots inside with your sleeping bag, the problem’s solved. You just leave them under the outside gear cover. Again, that’s an incredibly cool feature. Time – Do you need a tent that pitches in seconds? More importantly, are you able to pitch your tentalone or will you need an extra hand? If you’re camping with another person, you’ll have a second set of helping hands. But if you’re camping alone or with your furry friend, you may want to consider how easy or difficult it is to pitch a two-person tent with little to no support.

A spacious two-person tent, the Scorpion 2 will shelter you from the worst four-season weather, with an impressive 5000mm Hydrostatic Head PU Coated Fly sheet, with taped seams and a No-See-Um Mesh Mosquito Net, to keep out the bugs in summer months and warmer climates. For expeditions and base camping, the Scorpion design is the perfect green, allowing you to fly-pitch your tent with minimal environmental impact to the surrounding areas, using an opposing pole system to form a spacious base- tent that keeps condensation build up to a minimum with multiple ventilation channels. The classic dome design gives plenty of headspace throughout, making this feel like a roomy two man option. With taped seams, you’ll find you stay dry in moderate rain showers, but you may want to look at a different option if you’re spending prolonged periods camping in wet weather.When buying any new tent, you’ll need to consider your needs first. Things to think about before purchasing a two person tent: The Scorpion 2™ IX will shelter you from the worst four-season weather, it has a 5000mm hydrostatic head (HH) polyurethane (PU) coated flysheet, with taped seams. The Scorpion 2™ IX has an impressive sleeping space, measuring 205cm/81" long and 110cm/43" wide, creating ample room for two people in a top-toe sleeping arrangement with an additional spacious front porch for extra storage. In an emergency, there is enough space to accommodate up to six people sitting down. Putting up the Scorpion 2 was a fairly simple affair with colour-coordinated poles to help you get it right first time. I found the poles to be slightly fiddly to get through the sleeves – they got caught a few times – but this isn’t enough to put me off the tent. It’s frustrating to wake up and find that the inside walls of your tent are covered in water. You only find this out after you’ve accidentally bumped the wall and it all comes falling down on your face. Having cold water spit all over your face is an unpleasant way to wake up in the morning.

Space – How much room do you need inside your tent? If you’re camping alone, a two man tent is more than enough room. If you’re camping with a buddy, you’ll have to take into consideration whether you’ll need the extra room or if a two man tent is spacious enough. The Scorpion 3 IX™ will shelter you from the worst four-season weather, with a 5000mm hydrostatic head (HH) polyurethane (PU) coated flysheet, with taped seams. The Scorpion 3 IX™ has an impressive sleeping space, measuring 220cm/87” long and 110cm/43” wide, creating ample room for three people in a top-toe sleeping arrangement with an additional spacious front porch for extra storage.

DesignOnce the free-standing outer is up, the inner is joined on by a large number of attachment points.
