Excellent video

Nice stove! 😉 Good to see it getting some use. Always liked the F2, very good sized shelter 👌

Marc's tent should be the F1 with a cotton main tent and a rubberized nylon flysheet from the 1980's maybe earlier. The full nylon version is from the 1990's. There are some with two doors too but without moskitonet in the doors. Before using in the rain the seames have to be sealed by the full nylon tent without flysheet. When that's done it's a very good simple tent. Regards from Northern Germany Thomas

I have an F2 tent and use it all through the year. Had no problems. Yeah, I know it's French, but it's wonderful in every way. Loved the video by the way.

Nice one lad's. It's not so easy to get Euro surplus down under. There is army and outdoors but they rarely have clothes in my size these days. That MTP works well eh? I will keep an eye out for the F2. Chilli is one of the best camp foods. Thanks for all the great material chap's. Cheers 🍻. I ripped my MTP trousers yesterday. I was gutted. It's my only pair. So comfortable to wear.

I was half expecting the baguettes and a wee bit of escargot coming out Al.

I do love the big green slug. It's one of my cheapest bags but the warmest bag I own. Makes me smile everytime you use it in a video.

If you remember I used this tent with you many years ago when we camped in Northamptonshire. Absolutely love it. I would love to get my hands on the flysheet (very rare apparently) if you find one please let me know. Great video as always

There seems to be several styles of this tent. Mine has only one door but has a screen door also. I would recommend putting a rain fly over this tent because why not. The only down side I have found with this tent is the sag in the center. I have thought about possibly adding some loops along the ridge of the tent for a ridge line. I have had some condisation but like you said in one video what do you expect. I like it.

Beautiful area, it's amazing how well that camo works in dappled sunlight

French Tent no surprise Two doors Front & Back. Nice spot always

Tent looks like it does the job, wall to wall carpet is nice to 😂. Chilli sounded nice . Take care JB 🏕 👍

Great video and thank you for the information. I camp a lot in the Scottish Highlands where you have to deal with this weird mix of temperate and moisture.... eg ...relatively warm warm days with cold rain beating down on your tent. It can turn a lot of single skin tents into condensers, with water dripping down on the insides. Those massive vents seem to handle that situation and negate the temperature exchange issues. I have not yet tested my F2 but just looking at it out of the box its tough as hell. Thanks again.

Looks a good tent matey another good camp with marky 😊

Spring 👍 autumn 👍 agreed 👍

Cool video Allan, like the look of the tent, though I need to get out in my German army puptent yet ,good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig

Cheers and good morning

Nice camp and enjoyed the little walkabout in that beautiful woodland Allen. You had a result with no condensation - thought that might have been an issue. Cheers 🌲👍

Looks like you guys had a lovely campout. I've never seen the French F2 with a second fly over it. That is very Interesting. Thanks for sharing mate

The extra fly sheet usually comes with the F1 canvas version if your lucky.

The extra fly sheet was always part of them, it’s just that for some reason, they’re nearly always missing.

Nice one JB, my imitation version of the tent was sound as a pound after cealent and fab spray, stayed dry through 3 day tropical storm. Good set up as you say. The jobs a good un. Harry...out

Great video JB.thankyou! Be out myself in a few days too!

I say Allan Old Chap! Splendid transmission I've been eyeing up the french Army Tent for a while. Looks a great big of kit! Love the British gear to counter balance haha! Bit of the old Entente Cordiale 😜 🇬🇧 🇫🇷. Glad you enjoyed the chilli Old bean! I do agree Spring and Autumn best months. We are lucky in the UK for that. I'm glad you reminded Marc of "Allan's Mobile Military Surplus supplies" When is your shop opening? 🤔👌😁 All the best and thanks Old Chap! See you soon!

Nice camp and nature. Have a F2 tent too but is me to heavy for using on my tours 😎

Excellent video Jim Bob. I quite like the F2 tent. I understand it's canvas? Where the F1 is nylon?

What more could you ask for! Blue Skies good Company good Scran and Saxon playing in the Background!

I guess the ventilation requirement in the design of this tent was for 2 Galouises per hour 🙂

There is usually a Whit label inside the F2 that’s says year on it

The fly sheet came with the canvas variety (f1??) in general the synthetic material on the f2 was deemed waterproof enough to use as a single skin. Would a basha, dpm of course serve as a suitable fly sheet?????

Would be nice to see setup

"Legend" Allan

Lets see it used with hours of rain

Always fancied getting one of those tents ! As for the mtp jacket and trousers , i still prefer the dpm and cant get used to it ! Does'nt blend in as well in brittish woodland .
