When I wrote this cartoon, I didn’t think that anyone manufactured an actual ferret tent. One quick trip to Youtube.com lets me know that 1) Somewhere, every product that CAN exist DOES exist, and 2) Everything in the world is now on Youtube.com.
I’m due for a new tent. My old Kelty domolite is old enough to receive social security and is falling apart worse than my knees. My new tent, only a few years old, is a Coleman- the sort of thing you get when it’s going to be filled with cub scouts for a few years. It’s held up beautifully- including a trip to Yellowstone and Moab, but those poor bungie rods are showing their age early. I’m looking at this one and thinking it’s awful pretty. If you want to shop tents your ownself, click on it.
The only thing worse that your child wiping a camp booger on the inside wall of your mountaineering tent, is your friend’s child wiping a camp booger on the inside wall of your mountaineering tent.
I’m with you on the Coleman tent. You gotta buy a junker if the kids are going to be in it.

Thank you again for the laughs on this site… but th is time, it comes from the brother (or father?) !!! *L*
Oh, how I remember camping as a boy scout in a Coleman, using a Coleman 2 burner to burn coffee with grinds for “Skipper” … oh, and at Prt Burwell, how I almost broke my arm, and was given my first ride in an ambulance from the dunk tank to our camp site.
Oh the memories. 😀
Oh, I think you’re going to like the next cartoon, then.
The first time I saw those miniature display tents, I was in Dick’s Sporting Goods. I asked the sales lady if I could buy the doll sized one “for my sister”. She got really irritated and said “for the millionth time, no.” You know if a million people are asking for them, why not manufacture and put them on sale right next to the originals?
I agree! Those li’l tents would be a big seller.
