There’s a particular kind of misery reserved for campers: lying awake at 1am in a tent that’s somehow hotter than the day outside, sleeping bag kicked off, wishing for even the faintest breeze. A battery powered tent fan solves this specific problem without needing a hookup pitch or a generator — it’s a compact, cordless … Read more
There’s a very specific kind of misery that only happens at 2am in a tent: you’re lying on top of your sleeping bag, not in it, sweat pooling behind your knees, listening to a zip you’re too hot to bother doing up.
