A blessing in disguise

Updated: Apr 4, 2024

During our visit to the store yesterday, I had mixed emotions. Originally, we only planned to pick up a few items that were previously purchased online, but we discovered that the two-person hiking tent I had ordered was not in stock at that location. My mother was quite disappointed, as she had driven to that specific branch because it was the closest one with the tent available, according to their website. She asked the store to check with other branches, and while there were tents in stock at Paralowie, they were already on hold for other customers. I selected this tent for several reasons, including its positive reviews from campers, affordability, portability, suitability for two people, water and weather resistance, and ease of setup. I had hoped to use it for multi-day hikes, but unfortunately, it is not currently available at any store.


We were disappointed that the unavailable item was still able to be ordered. However, they will be refunding our money. Unfortunately, we still need a tent for camping and have no other choice at the store. but to buy one


I understand that it can be more convenient to shop for camping gear online rather than in-store, especially when faced with a multitude of tent options. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure where to begin. However, a knowledgeable individual experienced in camping can provide valuable recommendations and tips to help make the selection process easier.


I realised that the tent we purchased was perfect for our needs. It's roomy, has two layers, and can be assembled easily. The cost is reasonable and durable, making it a hidden gem. Getting a tent from the store turned out to be a fortunate decision. We're all set for camping now. The mix of excitement and nerves it brings is quite intense.
