Some people have way to much money, the guy in the video recons there was around 10,000 tents left behind and lots of camping gear, its going to the homeless so at least its not wasted.

This is every year so and people leave there tents behind on purpose

It's almost on every European festival the same. some support homeless people, other help refugees or people in disaster areas. I left my first tent behind in 2004

Thanks for explaining GermLish i thought it was lazy people with too much money. :lol:

Yeah, on the other hand, you won't go there with the best tent.
Thieves cut them open, people pee on them and so on.

You paint a lovely picture of these events. :lol:

I've been to many festivals over the years and have decided that those who take tents are just a little bit feral.

I always went with friends and one friends dad in particular with a 350k motor home. Satellite TV, shower double beds... made getting laid very easy indeed...

Tent, when I was younger, motor home was the next step, meanwhile I fly there by helicopter and rent a house on the festival area.

Sometimes I throw my empty Champagne bottles at those motor home suckers :whistle:

You may mock but I never smelled like a sheep's backside when I woke up on the 3rd day...

They're actually marketed as pop up festival tents, cost about 15 quid on eBay and as said above they're made and sold with the intention of getting left behind. Most festivals they're so covered in muck you wouldn't be bothered cleaning them anyway.

I bet even the charities throw loads away because even bleach wouldn't clean one of those properly.

The tents will now become the "Social Housing" that the government have been promising for so long. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Assesses I would have been in heaven if I had my pick of equipment....

Mates of mine in Ireland used to sign up as clean up crew for music festivals and used to come out with cool stuff...
