Our top tips for staying warm whilst camping. If you have any other great tips - let us know in the comments below.

Well, despite the cold and us sleeping in the Human Comfort tent, we did manage to get the flagship Karsten out for it's first official pitch. I much prefer to see a tent actually pitched as opposed to a library picture. The awnings are not fully pegged out, so the material would be more taught. The zip-in groundsheet was much easier to handle and fit than I was expecting and really does give it an element of luxury. All in all, it was a great weekend and as you can see, we managed to get the Karsten Carp Tent up as well!

The Marne tent, was easy to pitch using 3 poles and the fly and inner pitched together in about 5 minutes. I was really impressed with the tent. The two windows and the front let in good light, there was excellent ventilation throughout, and no condensation in the morning. The tent is described as a 'Technical Cotton' (polycotton) but is much softer to the touch than the main stream polycottons available on the market. The front porch has it's own ground sheet and the rear storage does not, but allows for other 'dirty' equipment to be stowed away. Both the doors from the inner tent have the fly net integrated and the rain porch to the front is a great little addition. We used the Human-Comfort self inflating air mats with optional foam topper and cover as well as Human Comfort sleeping bags (both to be reviewed soon). I have to admit it was really toas...

We have received confirmation from Karsten that the show tents have been made and after having the finishing touches added, should be available for viewing from the End of January. We should also have all the stock from the Human Comfort range of Camping Equipment and Accessories available by then to.
