Oh I submit here's pictures of my tent collection... I've not that many of my actual tents in use, I tend not to take pictures at camps, but I've put links to their website.
Swags: Both me and my GF have swags (at the moment they're rolled out in the lounge as we stayed in them last night as we had some friends from Australia visiting last night, and my parent's house isn't big enough!)
I've got an el-cheapo from
Anaconda, which cost about $180 (thank God the shops have a sale about every quarter!), and she's got a Gucci
Roman which cost about $300!
This is the sort of set up we'd run in Aus; we've got 4 swags under 2 tarps; I think the most we had was 6 swags under the same 2 tarps. The one below is mk1 Tarp setup, we evolved it into a much easier to use set up over time.
Here's the GF swag; it's wet because we had a sunny day and were seasoning the canvas:
And here's my Swag:
Roll mine up (complete with a pillow, 75mm memory foam mattress topper and sleeping bag) and it just fits in a 100l dry bag for canoeing with...
Another obligatory 'Cruiser shot; this was the last time we really used our FJ73, we sold (as you can see by the For Sale signs in the window!) it that weekend at the event we were staying at.
Our swags are the ones nearest the Cruiser. Without the tarp there often is a bit of condensation on the swag, so we did tend to use the tarp (not both) when it's just the 2 of us; the tarp fitted perfectly in a milk crate and the poles would go down behind the seats.
I also have the following tents:
MSR Zoid 1.5:
which is my little backpacking tent for lightweight camping and expeds, when it's just me.
Wild County Mistral:
This technically is my brother's tent, but I've robbed it as my VauDe (below) has some holes in it that I really ought to fix! It's that bit bigger than my MSR, so is OK for 2 people, as long as the person furthest from the door doesn't want to get out during the night. The other problem is I can't sit up in it very easily, and the porch is a touch small.
VauDe Mk 2
Such a simple tent to pitch with an exo skeleton held by a couple of metal clips and some bungy! Packs into a small stuff sack and is big enough for 2 people to use comfortably.
Obelink in Holland do a really nice range of poly cotton tents; I spent 2 weeks in the Ardeche one year on holiday with GF and we decided that the Wild Country was too small and too hot, and a poly cotton tent would be much nicer. I looked at the Bell Tents but they were too big, instead we ended up with a HyperCamp Trend 4 (which is now discontinued)
Big bedroom for 2 (supposedly for 4), really good bath tub ground sheets that zips up (with pleats) a the front, and the side door has a mozi net on it so you can have some air flow. Plenty of room out the front and substantial poles and spare parts with it (useful things like spare elastic for the poles etc) Easy to put up and nicely put together... It cost €350ish in 2009, so much cheaper than an equivalent spec tent in the UK would have been.
The other options we have are a couple of hammocks:
(GF with a friend's toddler in the Ardeche, Bivouac de Gournier)
We've got the Lifesystem's one above, and a Hennesy Ultralight. They're really good for canoe camping in hot weather, but make sure you put a mat underneath you otherwise you lose a lot of warmth out of the bottom at night.
Sorry for the ramblings, and the random photos! I have very few of my gear in use as it's not that interesting in some ways.
Parents also have a Tin Tent, 5m something Fendt, which is again a bit unusual for the UK!
WTF happened to me 
I did'nt even own a tent two years ago and now look at the mess I'm in 
we bought another one a couple of months ago which is now gathering dust in the loft!
