Back on Tents ... I have never slept in an 8-man goatskin tent. A few groups have them. Can you fit everyone in with all the kit too? In addition, I'd love to know what sleeping layout you use. In the British round bell tents of the Boer War, I read that soldiers slept with their heads at the centre pole, like the spokes of a wheel.
